00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.362
all right, let's see.

00:00:01.362 --> 00:00:06.028
Jeez man, what do you want to do tonight?

00:00:06.028 --> 00:00:08.413
The same thing we do every night.

00:00:08.413 --> 00:00:10.740
Pinky, try to take over the world.

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:15.589
All right, yo, let's get into it.

00:00:15.589 --> 00:00:17.274
Try to take over the world.

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.402
You're preaching.

00:00:19.402 --> 00:00:20.905
Take over the world.

00:00:25.591 --> 00:00:36.107
And greatest chaplain in the world, Mr Lance O'Neal, Take over the world, All right world.

00:00:36.107 --> 00:00:38.951
We are back properly with the actual intro.

00:00:38.951 --> 00:00:43.456
I don't know what in the world it was, but you know shenanigans afoot.

00:00:43.456 --> 00:00:45.531
We are back for another week.

00:00:45.531 --> 00:00:51.767
It's your boy, KJ Bradley, and the world's greatest chaplain, and we are the Pogues man back in the building for another week.

00:00:51.767 --> 00:00:52.789
What's going on, Chappy?

00:00:54.164 --> 00:00:57.969
I don't know that intro and everything looks as bad as my wrinkle going on in my shirt.

00:00:57.969 --> 00:01:01.084
At least something it can say, and my hair for that matter.

00:01:01.084 --> 00:01:02.990
It's all good.

00:01:08.647 --> 00:01:11.253
Chaos and shenanigans afoot Before we get started.

00:01:11.253 --> 00:01:18.549
I know last week we started off or we ended off on a semi-controversial.

00:01:18.549 --> 00:01:23.165
I wanted to address it, so I had to.

00:01:23.165 --> 00:01:23.887
I took some time.

00:01:23.887 --> 00:01:29.371
I didn't post those snippets and I wanted to take some time and get some counsel.

00:01:29.371 --> 00:01:53.424
So I talked to a bunch of different people from a bunch of different backgrounds and I said, listen, this is how the show ended last night last week, and I wanted to hear your feedback and the consensus from both sides of the spectrum, from a lot of different backgrounds, was it's not what you say, it's how you say, and how the?

00:01:53.465 --> 00:02:04.091
message is received, and so you may feel that way, but your audience, the way you presented it, the audience may take it in a very abrasive manner.

00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:17.836
And sometimes when you present a message, no matter how well intended the message was, if the message isn't is received in an abrasive manner, it's not going to, you know, it's not going to to be received.

00:02:17.836 --> 00:02:21.185
So I didn't vote.

00:02:21.185 --> 00:02:34.713
So I wanted to, you know, kind of kind of let that, let that simmer and then, if we get some time, kind of come back and circle back and address it in a more comprehensive manner this week.

00:02:34.713 --> 00:02:36.384
But I don't know, I don't know if we have time.

00:02:36.384 --> 00:02:42.006
You know, with this administration, everything they are definitely a pray and spray administration.

00:02:42.006 --> 00:02:45.233
So it's always, it is always something going on.

00:02:47.201 --> 00:02:51.610
I did want to make sure I didn't forget for our social media family.

00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:52.794
I did not forget to post it.

00:02:52.794 --> 00:03:07.070
I wanted to go, take some time to get some wise counsel and to talk to a couple of people, a couple of mentors, and say, say, look, that was extremely controversial.

00:03:07.070 --> 00:03:26.902
I wanted to make sure, you know, in the spirit of the show, I wanted to make sure what I'm saying is not, you know, abrasive and you know I'm saying I don't want to come off as you know, I'm saying I don't want to come off as just another one of those dudes who's just pointing fingers and shit.

00:03:26.943 --> 00:03:28.026
That's never the intent.

00:03:28.026 --> 00:03:35.186
You know, so I wanted to get wise counsel in that regard and be like all right, look man this is what I was trying to say.

00:03:35.186 --> 00:03:40.741
This is how it came off, you know, because we had a, you know, short period of time.

00:03:40.782 --> 00:03:41.864
So what do?

00:03:41.883 --> 00:03:45.651
you think they were like yeah, reset that.

00:03:45.651 --> 00:03:47.713
That's why I didn't post it.

00:03:47.713 --> 00:03:49.704
That's why I didn't.

00:03:49.704 --> 00:03:52.381
The guys on TikTok and all that other stuff, that's why you didn't see it.

00:03:52.381 --> 00:03:55.950
This week I know a lot of people hit me up and was like yo, where's the poll?

00:03:55.950 --> 00:03:57.685
Why didn't you post it?

00:03:57.685 --> 00:03:58.770
What's going on?

00:03:58.770 --> 00:04:02.485
I told you guys I'd address it when we got here.

00:04:02.485 --> 00:04:03.366
That's why.

00:04:03.366 --> 00:04:05.931
That's why you didn't see it, that's why we didn't talk about it.

00:04:11.331 --> 00:04:12.777
And that's why it's simmering.

00:04:12.777 --> 00:04:21.081
Well, I think that's a really mature way of dodging the bullet.

00:04:21.081 --> 00:04:23.242
No, I'm obviously kidding.

00:04:23.242 --> 00:04:24.923
I do like what.

00:04:24.923 --> 00:04:33.428
I really like what you said, because there are times where we I don't want to say we get off of the point of the show.

00:04:33.428 --> 00:04:56.701
The whole point of the show was never to just complain up with solutions that we see that are viable ways to improve the country, our world, our lives and just the things going on around us.

00:04:56.701 --> 00:04:57.343
So I really appreciate that.

00:04:57.343 --> 00:04:59.949
That's the spirit you're coming from and I mean I think you're a fair player.

00:05:00.209 --> 00:05:03.365
I've never taken anything you said as personally derogatory or going off the rails.

00:05:03.365 --> 00:05:06.480
I'm sure there's things that I've never taken anything you said as personally derogatory or going off the rails.

00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:12.538
I'm sure there's things that I've said on this that have been taken the wrong way in my life.

00:05:12.538 --> 00:05:24.975
For sure, I could probably give I don't know a couple examples over the past few years that were literally life altering about how people took things or twisted words or whatever.

00:05:24.975 --> 00:05:28.148
So you know I don't have a problem with.

00:05:28.148 --> 00:05:38.326
Well, it didn't go up and honestly, though, I forgot last week I am so just when he said that I was like oh yeah, white people think things.

00:05:39.324 --> 00:05:39.985
I forgot about it.

00:05:39.985 --> 00:05:42.122
Yeah, plus, I don't see.

00:05:42.122 --> 00:05:45.158
So I don't see who's on and who's actively watching unless they comment.

00:05:45.158 --> 00:05:46.175
So I don't see who's on and who's actively watching unless they comment.

00:05:46.175 --> 00:05:50.971
So I don't know if that's actually watching or Liberty's actually watching until they make a comment.

00:05:50.971 --> 00:05:55.651
So I was like once you started that, I was like oh no, no, you can't do it because I don't, I can't see.

00:05:55.651 --> 00:06:00.290
Yeah, because Liberty needs to be on if you're going to start posting things.

00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:07.682
Yeah, no, I just do.

00:06:07.682 --> 00:06:09.310
I got of um couple of messages on the TikTok page this week.

00:06:09.310 --> 00:06:11.600
Um, it's like hey, you guys were going to post uh, you guys were going to post a poll.

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.865
You know we why haven't you posted a poll?

00:06:14.427 --> 00:06:14.968
So I had to.

00:06:15.048 --> 00:06:27.904
You know I wanted to make sure I addressed it, man, and and then I take for granted to how much we're, you know just how far we've we in our audience, man, and just how many people are like like yo hey, you said this on the show, where is it?

00:06:27.904 --> 00:06:42.250
So just being mindful of that and making sure we keep that into account, like you know, being more accountable, like all right, man, we got to deliver, so that's another reason for the people who don't know, I'm gonna give kj just.

00:06:42.771 --> 00:06:45.004
I'm about to spread it thick on KJ.

00:06:45.004 --> 00:06:48.502
Kj and I had this thought about doing this.

00:06:48.502 --> 00:06:52.442
If you haven't been with the show from the start, maybe a quick recap.

00:06:52.442 --> 00:06:56.339
Kj and I have known each other now since 2015.

00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:59.346
We served together in El Paso.

00:06:59.346 --> 00:07:03.365
We had some interesting leadership.

00:07:03.365 --> 00:07:11.310
We had a great leader in the hurricane, Colonel Norris, who we both really admired and appreciated.

00:07:11.310 --> 00:07:19.773
But we will both say right off the bat and I'm sure Colonel Norris will agree with this he's a very difficult person to work for as well.

00:07:19.773 --> 00:07:28.334
He made me a better staff officer and so he did a lot of positive things and improved my military bearing in a lot of ways.

00:07:28.334 --> 00:07:30.384
So we've known each other.

00:07:30.423 --> 00:07:47.244
And then when, when KJ retired, he got out before me and then I ended up, we ended up talking, and then I ended up moving to the Augusta area, Fort Eisenhower, and KJ was living here, and so we reconnected and started going to lunch and having really, I thought, very, very interesting discussions.

00:07:47.244 --> 00:07:53.906
And so when we talk about Tupac, so an hour going by, we would sit down, we'd pick a place to go eat.

00:07:53.906 --> 00:07:56.490
An hour never happened.

00:07:56.490 --> 00:07:57.894
We're talking two, three.

00:07:57.894 --> 00:08:00.307
I think our record was almost four and a half hours.

00:08:00.307 --> 00:08:01.771
We were almost ready to order.

00:08:01.771 --> 00:08:03.403
The next meal is how long we were talking.

00:08:03.644 --> 00:08:08.300
Strangers jumping into the conversation like, hey, this is really good, oh yeah.

00:08:08.721 --> 00:08:09.944
We had people going, hey.

00:08:09.944 --> 00:08:13.322
So at that point I kind of was like you know what if we?

00:08:13.322 --> 00:08:17.711
And we would talk about KJ's script writing and we bumped around some ideas.

00:08:17.711 --> 00:08:21.523
And then at one point we kind of went you know we should, we should put this online.

00:08:21.523 --> 00:08:25.605
I mean, it probably won't go anywhere, it's you know, but who cares?

00:08:25.605 --> 00:08:26.165
It's for us.

00:08:26.786 --> 00:08:30.550
And so KJ is the one who's done all of the legwork on this.

00:08:30.550 --> 00:08:38.535
I literally show up on Sunday night, I click a button and wait for him to bring me into the studio.

00:08:38.535 --> 00:08:40.677
If he's not here I can't do the show.

00:08:40.677 --> 00:08:44.024
I don't have the passwords.

00:08:44.024 --> 00:08:45.910
Last year KJ was like I need to show you all this stuff.

00:08:45.910 --> 00:08:47.547
I was like okay, and then we just never did it.

00:08:47.547 --> 00:08:49.908
I have no idea how to do any of this.

00:08:49.908 --> 00:08:54.087
Kj is the one who's got us reached out to CTR Media Network.

00:08:54.087 --> 00:08:57.888
He's the one that clips the has the guy doing?

00:08:57.888 --> 00:09:02.643
I think he's done some clips and helped with finding somebody to do the clips.

00:09:02.643 --> 00:09:03.844
This is all on KJ.

00:09:03.844 --> 00:09:09.289
So if you guys like the show, you should absolutely give KJ a nice big pat on the back.

00:09:09.289 --> 00:09:13.254
I don't give him that recognition enough.

00:09:13.254 --> 00:09:14.956
And if you don't like the show.

00:09:14.956 --> 00:09:20.972
Well, that's probably because I talk too much and I come off as a complete know-it-all dorky white guy.

00:09:20.972 --> 00:09:23.649
So otherwise I have.

00:09:24.181 --> 00:09:27.100
When KJ says how many people we have following, I literally don't know.

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:30.347
I have no idea how many people we have following.

00:09:30.347 --> 00:09:36.625
I clicked on youtube, uh, on the channel, a couple weeks ago and it said 1400 followers.

00:09:36.625 --> 00:09:39.551
I was like, wait, what now we?

00:09:39.551 --> 00:09:40.552
Okay.

00:09:40.552 --> 00:09:42.402
So I don't know tiktok, I don't.

00:09:42.402 --> 00:09:50.191
So, hey guys, whatever you're doing to spread the message, to spread the word, if we have people actively watching, great again, all I see here.

00:09:50.191 --> 00:09:54.230
I'm not even sure how I see the questions that pop up.

00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:55.763
I don't get the Twitch.

00:09:55.763 --> 00:09:56.424
I don't get.

00:09:56.424 --> 00:09:58.691
Like I know what Twitch is.

00:09:58.691 --> 00:10:01.787
Barely you start talking to some of the others.

00:10:01.787 --> 00:10:02.870
I don't have any idea.

00:10:02.870 --> 00:10:04.264
I'm too old for this crap.

00:10:04.264 --> 00:10:05.509
So luckily, kj.

00:10:05.509 --> 00:10:09.005
So if you ever want to message me directly, you better tell KJ.

00:10:09.005 --> 00:10:16.389
Hey, you know what, message this to the other guy who's obviously wrong, and we'll go from there.

00:10:16.389 --> 00:10:18.126
So there's your pat on the back, kj.

00:10:18.126 --> 00:10:22.347
Kudos for you to doing Pretty much 99% of legwork.

00:10:22.347 --> 00:10:25.947
Let me just show up and that's the best.

00:10:26.008 --> 00:10:26.629
That's the best.

00:10:26.629 --> 00:10:29.248
Just keep cursing us out on TikTok.

00:10:29.248 --> 00:10:29.850
I love it.

00:10:29.850 --> 00:10:30.967
I love all the bitch.

00:10:30.988 --> 00:10:33.403
you're all on TikTok Good man Every once in a while.

00:10:33.403 --> 00:10:36.004
Kt shared one with me when we had an early one.

00:10:36.004 --> 00:10:41.279
We were talking about race and my favorite comment was just somebody wrote to KT you should know better what.

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.908
You should know better what, trying to talk about actual things in life, you should know better, okay.

00:10:48.908 --> 00:10:51.211
So oh, we are now.

00:10:51.211 --> 00:10:52.494
My daughter is showing me we're at.

00:10:52.494 --> 00:10:54.336
Is this for YouTube?

00:10:54.336 --> 00:11:02.168
We are at 3,140 subscribers, so 2,000 more.

00:11:02.168 --> 00:11:08.019
She's giving me a little sarcastic attaboy, so let's see here's, here's getting this.

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:12.970
This is my technical story here what's up, little one?

00:11:13.070 --> 00:11:15.014
okay, she says hi.

00:11:17.201 --> 00:11:18.303
Oh, she says what's up brah?

00:11:18.303 --> 00:11:24.572
Because we say brah in my house brah all right.

00:11:24.751 --> 00:11:26.673
So let's get to the business at hand.

00:11:26.673 --> 00:11:27.355
Man, all right.

00:11:27.355 --> 00:11:30.104
So the chaos or the administration?

00:11:30.104 --> 00:11:32.571
Holy skamolis man, where do you want to dive in?

00:11:32.630 --> 00:11:41.370
we've had wherever I love it I I'll tell you I'm all in on this we've had what we've had.

00:11:41.389 --> 00:11:45.916
We've had SCOTUS kickbacks, we've had Elon with a chainsaw.

00:11:45.916 --> 00:11:48.626
Oh, the Germany elections were today.

00:11:48.626 --> 00:11:50.812
Germany, I didn't see what happened.

00:11:50.812 --> 00:11:51.981
That was pretty.

00:11:51.981 --> 00:11:53.265
That was pretty significant.

00:11:53.265 --> 00:11:56.841
Conservatives ended up winning, thank God.

00:11:56.841 --> 00:11:59.105
I was not going to lie.

00:11:59.105 --> 00:12:03.591
I was more nervous than I should have been in Germany in a very long time.

00:12:04.714 --> 00:12:07.927
Did you see what the I'm going off a drudge report headline?

00:12:07.927 --> 00:12:09.326
Did you see what the turnout was?

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.423
No, was it?

00:12:11.423 --> 00:12:15.451
I haven't seen the specifics yet 83%.

00:12:15.451 --> 00:12:17.147
No way.

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.542
That's if America hey look America.

00:12:21.542 --> 00:12:30.601
If we wanted to have a third party, 87% would be, I believe.

00:12:30.601 --> 00:12:31.585
Right now we're at about 60%.

00:12:31.585 --> 00:12:36.836
You could have 23% of people voting for a libertarian party and actually bring some change.

00:12:37.461 --> 00:12:46.453
But that actually makes sense though, because I think the alt-right ended up getting the highest highest rated votes since like World War II or something.

00:12:47.095 --> 00:12:51.327
Well, but they having the highest history.

00:12:51.448 --> 00:12:55.184
Oh, afd scored a historic second place finish.

00:12:55.184 --> 00:13:05.544
So did the conservative party break 50%, is the question, though, because if not, then they're going to have to do a.

00:13:05.544 --> 00:13:09.725
Oh my gosh, this is the problem with getting older you forget words.

00:13:09.725 --> 00:13:11.842
And so what is it?

00:13:11.842 --> 00:13:18.548
When two parties get together in Europe two different parties and they do a coalition, they'll have to have a coalition man.

00:13:18.548 --> 00:13:19.129
I'll tell you what.

00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:21.946
That's the worst part of getting old.

00:13:21.946 --> 00:13:31.581
Let's see, yeah, um, let's see, yeah.

00:13:31.581 --> 00:13:34.567
Conservative block won 28.5 percent, followed by the afd, which is the far right, with 20.5.

00:13:34.567 --> 00:13:37.115
So, yeah, so there's definitely going to be a um.

00:13:37.635 --> 00:13:44.663
Chancellor schultz's social democrats fell to their worst results since World War II, was 16.5.

00:13:44.663 --> 00:13:48.027
And the Greens at 11.8.

00:13:48.027 --> 00:13:52.892
And the far left, die Linke party, at 8.7.

00:13:52.892 --> 00:13:59.057
So that's interesting the far left got 8.7 and the far right got 20.5.

00:13:59.057 --> 00:14:19.552
I'd be curious in the US if we had and we talked about this before if we had a conservative party, a Republican party, a moderate party, a Democrat party and a far left party, the green party.

00:14:19.552 --> 00:14:21.815
Let's call it the green party, green Party.

00:14:21.815 --> 00:14:33.782
I'd be really interested to see what the breakdown of our voting would be like that, because I think moderate would probably Republican and Democrat and moderate, I still think would get the vast majority.

00:14:33.782 --> 00:14:47.913
But it would be interesting to see that far right and far left because we've talked about this the far left is definitely the loudest part of the left and has a lot of leadership in america.

00:14:48.494 --> 00:14:55.674
Um, aoc, that the multiple people in the media are what I would consider pretty far left.

00:14:55.674 --> 00:15:02.535
But on the far right in america I think it gets you know, rejected, castigated.

00:15:02.535 --> 00:15:04.902
I don't, I don't think you would have the same level.

00:15:04.902 --> 00:15:18.974
Because when we think about the far right and what I think about the far right not with the media, because I don't think that's really what we're talking about when we're talking about the far right, I'm talking about them good old boy rednecks that are down south that say, hey, let's get our hoods on.

00:15:18.974 --> 00:15:24.849
Or the Aryan Nation in northern Idaho used to be in northern Idaho.

00:15:24.849 --> 00:15:26.873
I don't know if they're still up there, but they could be.

00:15:26.873 --> 00:15:40.131
But but when we're talking about far right in America, I think you are talking about strong racial beliefs.

00:15:40.131 --> 00:15:42.179
You would probably have very few people of color in the far right in America.

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:53.128
You mean the guys that say things like you know it takes need to put a strong white man in charge, or yeah, I mean, people say stupid things.

00:15:53.128 --> 00:15:57.609
But let me ask you this, KJ Cause I was going to say, you know, you don't have to look too far.

00:15:58.600 --> 00:15:58.740
But?

00:15:58.740 --> 00:16:14.895
But let me ask you this because I think we, I think America is unique in a lot of ways because and this historically because we, we were the only country that white people fought and died to end slavery.

00:16:14.895 --> 00:16:21.840
Slavery before the Civil War was normal not only in America, but common throughout the world.

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:28.094
I believe before the US ended slavery, england was really about the only country that really stopped.

00:16:28.094 --> 00:16:37.238
England was actually ahead of the game of the US by about 50, 60 years because they outlawed slavery in the start of the 1800s.

00:16:37.238 --> 00:16:51.207
So but if you look right now and you say, name any African country, that their complexion, let's say, matches yours Ghana, nigeria.

00:16:52.279 --> 00:17:15.965
If you have some, if you have those same ideas, and say the and we've both seen this I sent you a video this week of a black man or a group of black men saying we are the true descendants of Homo sapien and white people are actually descendants of Neanderthal, and so therefore, white people are actually below where black people.

00:17:15.965 --> 00:17:20.354
Black people are the true humans and white people are subhumans.

00:17:20.354 --> 00:17:32.631
Would you call that group far right in that country, because that's really what it is in a lot of ways, but in America, because we are, so we are really?

00:17:32.631 --> 00:17:38.316
I think it's fair to say we're one of the most diverse countries, if not the most diverse country in the world.

00:17:38.316 --> 00:17:51.440
I don't think anybody really matches our demographics the way they are, and that's why when you talk about far right and far left in the US, it's very different than like Germany.

00:17:52.000 --> 00:18:01.333
So I'm curious what your thoughts are when you're talking about America and the political scale versus what you understand of other countries and I could be wrong.

00:18:01.333 --> 00:18:04.529
If people are out there and saying I'm completely wrong, please let me know.

00:18:04.529 --> 00:18:06.605
I have no problem with that.

00:18:06.605 --> 00:18:07.788
Ignorance can be fixed.

00:18:07.788 --> 00:18:11.430
It means you haven't learned anything yet and I don't believe I'm stupid, which means you can't learn.

00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:13.383
So what are your thoughts?

00:18:13.383 --> 00:18:13.743
Kj.

00:18:14.625 --> 00:18:17.132
Well, in terms of diversity, America is.

00:18:17.132 --> 00:18:21.425
I mean for all the diversity America has.

00:18:24.369 --> 00:18:31.847
I don't know how to say this without being controversial because at its essence.

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:45.690
Caucasians are a curious breed, right, because you'll have a set of Caucasians who will fight to the death right For civil rights, and you'll have them fight to the death for civil rights.

00:18:45.690 --> 00:18:49.005
You'll have them fight on the side of right.

00:18:49.005 --> 00:18:50.684
They'll say, hey, man, this is wrong.

00:18:50.684 --> 00:19:00.962
Then you'll also have a set of Caucasians who will say, no, this is wrong, those guys are subhuman.

00:19:00.962 --> 00:19:02.628
We're the only right race.

00:19:04.121 --> 00:19:13.720
It's just really weird, like I, I don't you know, do you think that doesn't happen in africa, though, or in south america, or like china?

00:19:14.741 --> 00:19:21.251
no, not, not without, not without influence, not without influence here's.

00:19:22.013 --> 00:19:24.346
Here's why I think that's now africa.

00:19:24.346 --> 00:19:25.873
I'm not as familiar with africa.

00:19:25.873 --> 00:19:28.462
China, I'll tell you right now, is absolutely true.

00:19:28.462 --> 00:19:38.028
China, japan and korea, chinese people in general, historically have thought that japanese people and korean people are subhuman.

00:19:38.028 --> 00:19:46.403
Japanese people think that chinese and korean are subhuman and korean think japanese and chinese are subhuman and Korean think Japanese and Chinese are subhuman.

00:19:46.403 --> 00:19:48.503
So in Asia there's a very clear.

00:19:48.503 --> 00:19:59.048
They believe there's a clear mongrelization of the Asian and won't even recognize the that there's really any.

00:19:59.048 --> 00:20:02.790
If you call, you want to piss somebody off.

00:20:02.790 --> 00:20:10.894
If you're from China, call them Japanese or Korean, it's, it's as bad as honestly it's, and it's a little bit different.

00:20:10.894 --> 00:20:11.455
Why?

00:20:11.455 --> 00:20:13.896
Because because of national pride.

00:20:13.896 --> 00:20:16.778
But Mexican and Puerto Rican are very similar.

00:20:16.778 --> 00:20:25.125
If you call somebody from Puerto Rico Mexican, that's, that's not good.

00:20:25.125 --> 00:20:32.800
And so I think and I don't know about Africa, I have no idea- that's what I'm saying Universally.

00:20:32.820 --> 00:20:40.749
there is no place on the globe that you can go when you're this color and not be looked at as an inferior species.

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.242
I think that's true in.

00:20:42.324 --> 00:20:42.625
Africa.

00:20:42.625 --> 00:20:46.013
Africa is probably the only.

00:20:46.013 --> 00:20:47.922
Africa is probably the only place.

00:20:47.922 --> 00:20:57.189
However, even in Africa, due to European influences, there are still places in Africa where you go and you look like this, you still get looked at crazy.

00:20:57.189 --> 00:21:10.955
Like even if you go to the, even if you go to North Africa, where they mix with Greeks and Romans, and you go to Europe and Algeria and stuff like that, they look at you and they say, oh, you're so, you know, you're not the same.

00:21:10.955 --> 00:21:23.626
Like even if I was to go back as an African-American, if I was to go to Nigeria, if I was to go to Ghana or if I was to go to Ethiopia, they'd look at me and be like I'm tainted, I'm not a pure African.

00:21:23.626 --> 00:21:25.707
Oh, because you're not dark enough.

00:21:25.707 --> 00:21:35.185
Well, not, not, I'm not dark enough, but I've lost my hair, I've lost my heritage, I've lost my roots so, so it's that.

00:21:35.246 --> 00:21:37.871
Is that after conversation, or is that just by looks like?

00:21:37.871 --> 00:21:38.752
I don't know this is.

00:21:38.772 --> 00:21:52.094
This is after, this is after conversation, because I've been looking into, I've been looking into regaining my citizenship and you know I'm talking to expats around the world like, all right, man, hey, you know where, where, where's the safe space?

00:21:52.094 --> 00:21:54.125
And there really is no safe space.

00:21:54.125 --> 00:21:57.642
When you look, like us, there just isn't.

00:21:57.642 --> 00:22:08.236
And it's really weird because you know, civilization began in Africa.

00:22:08.236 --> 00:22:18.769
So it's a really weird dichotomy, man, and I don't know, it's just, it's a weird complex.

00:22:20.762 --> 00:22:21.846
Let me ask you something about that.

00:22:21.846 --> 00:22:28.092
What you just said what's your definition of civilization began in Africa.

00:22:31.662 --> 00:22:34.602
Science, right, Everything.

00:22:34.602 --> 00:22:40.252
Everything can be mutated from our gene.

00:22:40.252 --> 00:22:43.046
Right, Everything, right.

00:22:43.046 --> 00:22:47.115
We can produce every hue on the planet.

00:22:47.115 --> 00:22:57.089
Right the eve gene came from our dna right.

00:22:59.051 --> 00:22:59.752
So are we?

00:22:59.752 --> 00:23:00.534
Okay?

00:23:00.534 --> 00:23:02.676
I just I definitions.

00:23:02.676 --> 00:23:20.616
Here is why I'm asking Sure, it's pretty well accepted historically that the ideas of civilization and actually the first city and city-states was in the Fertile Crescent, in the Middle East, not in Africa, sir, no way.

00:23:20.616 --> 00:23:23.407
Well, hold on, no way.

00:23:23.407 --> 00:23:25.785
What I'm saying is wait.

00:23:25.785 --> 00:23:40.673
What I'm saying is the big city states Originally, yes, the migration out of Africa happened, yes, and so modern day human, the very first modern day Homo sapiens, were in Africa.

00:23:40.673 --> 00:23:45.992
What I'm just saying is are we talking about the migration of what would be considered modern day homo sapien?

00:23:45.992 --> 00:23:50.371
Is that what you're calling civilization?

00:23:50.371 --> 00:24:02.469
Or are we talking the first written languages and the first larger than tribal coming out of the middle East and the and the fertile Crescent?

00:24:02.469 --> 00:24:03.431
Cause, I think that there's.

00:24:03.431 --> 00:24:04.953
It's just a word.

00:24:04.953 --> 00:24:06.246
It really doesn't matter that much.

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:07.665
I'm just curious what we're talking about.

00:24:07.665 --> 00:24:22.809
Even if we were to go that route, right, and you look at it, there's only one continent in one area, right, that hasn't experienced a dark ages, right, that hasn't experienced an age of lost wisdom, right?

00:24:22.809 --> 00:24:25.846
You want to take a guess what that was?

00:24:27.902 --> 00:24:32.779
Are we talking about something that actually had civilization or is it a trick question like Antarctica?

00:24:32.779 --> 00:24:34.125
No, no, no trick question.

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:35.728
Like so, like all right.

00:24:35.728 --> 00:24:40.310
So we know Europe lost, has a lost knowledge.

00:24:40.310 --> 00:24:43.028
We know the Americas lost their knowledge.

00:24:43.028 --> 00:24:45.228
We know South America got wiped out.

00:24:45.228 --> 00:24:46.505
They lost their knowledge, right.

00:24:46.505 --> 00:24:53.106
So everybody's lost knowledge except the continent, right, but Africa only.

00:24:53.669 --> 00:24:54.852
Let me hold on though.

00:24:54.852 --> 00:25:06.016
Everything, well, every, all of his, not all of the most African history was passed down verbally in folk tale and stories.

00:25:06.016 --> 00:25:09.546
Right, so it's, and it's very.

00:25:09.546 --> 00:25:13.133
It's very different than the way, let's say, the Jews did it.

00:25:13.133 --> 00:25:16.166
The Jews did it in very specific.

00:25:16.166 --> 00:25:34.406
There were very specific songs that were sung down, so like the Old Testament, by the, by the time the Old Testament got to moses, those songs about the creation, about the garden of eden, about jen, they were being sung in verse and that's very specific how their history was done.

00:25:34.406 --> 00:25:43.941
So, africa and africa, folk tales right, it was folk tales, it wasn't, it wasn't specific, it was folk tales, and I think you lose it's.

00:25:43.941 --> 00:25:45.002
I think it's very.

00:25:45.002 --> 00:25:52.875
It's really too bad that the written language didn't get to Africa sooner, because I think there's a ton of lost knowledge.

00:25:52.875 --> 00:26:00.294
It's, but even with written language, you have, you know, the great library of Alexandria being burned.

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:02.345
Ethiopia had one of the first written languages in the world bird.

00:26:02.384 --> 00:26:08.500
Ethiopia had one of the first written languages in the world, one of or the or what?

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:10.008
Because Babylon had the first one.

00:26:10.008 --> 00:26:17.906
Well, no, babylon got their language from Ethiopia, not what I've studied, but okay, I could be wrong.

00:26:17.906 --> 00:26:18.950
Yeah, okay.

00:26:21.845 --> 00:26:27.332
As a matter of fact, they came to Africa to study.

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:31.624
Which is really for Cuneiform.

00:26:31.624 --> 00:26:35.950
It originally came out of Cuneiform writing originally came out of Babylon, and it was.

00:26:35.950 --> 00:26:47.969
It was used primarily as a as tallying record, record keeping, to say you know, the King has to know what he's got.

00:26:47.969 --> 00:26:53.015
Yes, no, cuneiform came up and it was basically just scratches on a tablet.

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.042
I hadn't heard that it came out of Africa.

00:26:57.042 --> 00:27:05.709
It's certainly possible, but West Africa, West Africa I don't know Ethiopia specifically, because I think it was called something else, but the West Africa region, and I'd have to go back and look at it.

00:27:05.709 --> 00:27:08.145
Well, and again, you have a lot of.

00:27:08.165 --> 00:27:11.938
you have a lot of stuff from Western like the richest, the richest guy in the world.

00:27:11.938 --> 00:27:23.490
At one point, what most historians say the richest dude in the I think his name was Masa Musa came out of Western Africa and we really don't know that much about him because there wasn't a written language.

00:27:28.001 --> 00:27:28.624
And so but.

00:27:29.224 --> 00:27:30.227
I mean, all of that's awesome.

00:27:30.267 --> 00:27:53.006
I like that, but that but the point I was making is it's weird that out of all of the contributions Right, so you have that you have the to worldwide civilizations, only to be looked at as if your pariah in the world is interesting.

00:27:55.142 --> 00:27:56.721
Moors went to save Europe.

00:27:56.721 --> 00:28:01.124
Yeah, the Moors went to conquer Europe.

00:28:02.067 --> 00:28:04.904
Yes, the Moors brought Europe out of the Dark Ages.

00:28:08.571 --> 00:28:14.366
Indirectly, because they were coming in to try to take over Spain, and they got pushed back finally.

00:28:14.366 --> 00:28:17.548
And so the European countries started going this isn't okay.

00:28:17.548 --> 00:28:24.685
And then the England and some of the other countries started going, hey, we need to push back and let's do these crusades.

00:28:24.685 --> 00:28:27.359
But the Moors weren't there to save Europe.

00:28:27.761 --> 00:28:28.806
I mean it's the same way you got.

00:28:28.806 --> 00:28:41.141
I mean it's the same way that you know, the Anglo-Saxons came to save Africa and India and then they came to save the Americas and you know, anglo-saxons never went to Africa to save Africa, though they didn't care less.

00:28:41.181 --> 00:28:42.682
They couldn't care less about Africans.

00:28:42.682 --> 00:28:44.523
They didn't care less, they couldn't care less about Africans.

00:28:44.523 --> 00:28:46.085
Yeah, they cared about what was in the ground.

00:28:46.486 --> 00:28:47.606
I know, that's what I'm saying.

00:28:47.606 --> 00:28:48.708
They came to save.

00:28:48.708 --> 00:28:49.669
What do they call it?

00:28:49.669 --> 00:28:51.810
Oh, I see what you're?

00:28:51.871 --> 00:28:53.551
Oh, yes, they came to save.

00:28:53.551 --> 00:28:55.574
Okay, we need the quotation marks on that.

00:28:55.574 --> 00:28:57.836
They came to save Africa.

00:28:57.836 --> 00:28:58.297
Okay.

00:29:02.820 --> 00:29:03.442
They came to save.

00:29:03.442 --> 00:29:05.467
They came to save and spread love and joy.

00:29:05.507 --> 00:29:09.523
Yeah, and that's where, again, I kind of look at it Historically.

00:29:09.523 --> 00:29:15.948
I look at some of those words as very specific things England and Portugal and Brazil.

00:29:15.948 --> 00:29:18.753
Portugal was not going to save Brazil.

00:29:18.753 --> 00:29:24.539
They were going to claim Brazil because they knew Brazil was a new world and had a lot of stuff in it.

00:29:26.125 --> 00:29:28.451
They didn't want to protect Brazil from itself.

00:29:28.451 --> 00:29:37.244
Brazil didn't know it needed protecting, but they just they went to go give them a tactical hug is what we like to call it A tactical hug.

00:29:37.244 --> 00:29:40.092
Grab their arms around them real tight and make sure they're safe.

00:29:40.092 --> 00:29:41.948
Just take care of them.

00:29:44.502 --> 00:29:45.925
That's the funny thing about history.

00:29:45.925 --> 00:29:48.833
Nobody's innocent in any of this, right?

00:29:48.833 --> 00:29:52.891
So so, like you said, you know the Moors were going to save Europe.

00:29:52.891 --> 00:29:54.443
The Moors were going in and they were.

00:29:54.443 --> 00:29:57.881
They were trying to dominate as much as anybody else and that's.

00:29:57.881 --> 00:29:59.201
That's been the history of the world.

00:29:59.201 --> 00:30:04.888
The winners, the winners have written the history and you know Europe.

00:30:04.949 --> 00:30:27.963
If you went back to, let's say, let's say, 900, 900 AD, right, and we're able to go to 900 AD and we say, hey, world, you know those of you that are the smartest people in the world right now, where is the next great, who's going to be dominant in a thousand years, in 1100 years?

00:30:27.963 --> 00:30:54.688
They would have said, and knowing the knowledge they had I'm not just saying like random, but like here's the knowledge of where you're at at 900, you know the 10th century they would have said, oh well, it's going to be the Middle East and the Muslims, or the Chinese, or Africa, egypt was, they were on the decline.

00:30:54.688 --> 00:31:01.311
Yeah, right, they were on the decline, but Western, but Western Africa was starting to kind of get some footholds.

00:31:01.311 --> 00:31:06.279
So, yeah, the Shites and those guys maybe Right.

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.586
And then they would have looked and said, oh and, and in the americas.

00:31:08.586 --> 00:31:11.762
Well, you've got the aztecs, you've got the incas that were on their way up and yeah.

00:31:12.163 --> 00:31:14.249
So, and if you said, well, what about the europeans?

00:31:14.249 --> 00:31:21.847
Europeans, so what you know, and there's a great book out there called um gosh.

00:31:21.847 --> 00:31:26.534
It's like germs, steel and guns or something like that.

00:31:26.534 --> 00:31:31.407
It talks about why, why, uh, the europeans were uniquely.

00:31:31.407 --> 00:31:36.258
That one last this week somebody yeah, I, I read it a few years.

00:31:36.258 --> 00:31:47.708
I read it a couple years ago a great book, um guns, steel and bugs or something like that, and he talks about why it ended up being Europe that ended up conquering.

00:31:48.800 --> 00:31:50.067
And a lot of it was dumb luck.

00:31:50.067 --> 00:32:01.571
And the biggest dumb luck was animal husbandry is because you had the Caucasians throughout Europe, were raising pigs and cows and eating pigs and cows.

00:32:01.571 --> 00:32:07.301
Well, pigs and having horses run Pigs and cow and horses are not the cleanest of animals.

00:32:07.301 --> 00:32:15.290
So, just like when you have these parents who don't let their kids play in the dirt or don't do anything, those kids generally have a pretty bad immune system.

00:32:15.290 --> 00:32:28.864
Well, over a couple centuries, you have caucasians being in the mud and the guck and the gross with cows and pigs and horses, and so they build up an immunity.

00:32:28.864 --> 00:32:39.694
Yeah, so then, when the conquistadors went to germsteel yeah, germsteel guns, germsteels great book if you haven't read it.

00:32:39.694 --> 00:32:57.076
So then, when you know Europe went to the New World, they were able to dominate because of a large there was already a natural plague going through the Americas, but then on top of it you had the European plagues that basically came out.

00:32:57.421 --> 00:33:09.163
There's some estimates that the North American tribes where the pilgrims and the settlers came in from Europe, were down to 5% of what they would have been.

00:33:09.163 --> 00:33:14.644
So on one side you'll have some people go well, see, that's just God preparing the land.

00:33:14.644 --> 00:33:18.069
Okay, I guess, if you want to look at it like that.

00:33:18.069 --> 00:33:38.632
But the irony of that all is that, without that happening, the settlers not only do the settlers run into, you know, obviously, people who probably don't want their land taken Settlers would go out and they'd find these paths and they'd start going through the woods and they'd come along these paths and go oh cool, there's a path.

00:33:38.632 --> 00:33:43.300
Oh, look, yeah, a pre-made, pre-made town for us.

00:33:43.300 --> 00:33:56.403
Look, there's crops over there and and, and there's, there's animals here that we can and we can feed and we can do some stuff, and well, I guess we'll have to bury all these bodies that are here on the ground, but they're just bodies.

00:33:56.403 --> 00:34:00.076
So, yeah, so, but, but it's interesting.

00:34:00.096 --> 00:34:25.289
It's one of those things that I've I've always found curious, um, when people argue and you and I have had some of these debates about, you know, the slave trade and all that and it's like, because one of the things I've my I don't I don't want to say issue, because that's that's not the right word for it yeah, um, is that when you start talking about slavery and how slavery was uniquely bad in the US, I don't think it is.

00:34:25.289 --> 00:34:33.509
I think slavery has been prior to 1860, slavery was the norm in the world outside of, again, england.

00:34:33.509 --> 00:34:45.577
And so, yeah, 1860 happens, and so we fast forward 150 years and we're still 60, 70 years behind England in terms of some of our racial stuff.

00:34:45.577 --> 00:35:04.289
But England's now you look at England England's going through a lot of issues with with their policies of immigration, and Muslims are there's a specific word in Islam for basically taking over an area politically by birth rate and immigration.

00:35:04.289 --> 00:35:24.380
You don't, it's, yeah, it's basically you go in and you outbreed, because Muslims don't think, muslims don't think in terms of tomorrow, next week, next year Muslims and Middle Easterners in general and I'm not saying they don't think about tomorrow.

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:30.829
What I'm saying is strategically, and they are thinking about 20 years, 50 years, 100 years from now.

00:35:31.449 --> 00:35:50.815
So if you are a group of people religious or not if you're a group of people and you say, okay, we want to go, take over montana, right, um kj, you want to, you want over Montana, right, kj?

00:35:50.815 --> 00:36:02.780
You don't think there's enough Black people in Montana and you think it's a right place to turn into a Black state, and you're able to convince a lot of other Black people to move to Montana.

00:36:02.780 --> 00:36:08.900
And then you tell all of them look, this isn't going to be ours, but this could be our grandkids.

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:15.559
And so what we need to do is we need to have kids, lots of kids, this birthright stuff.

00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:24.342
These, these Montanans, they're worried about going skiing, they're worried about you know, uh, only having a couple of kids.

00:36:24.342 --> 00:36:26.746
They can't have more than one kid or two.

00:36:26.746 --> 00:36:28.800
You know if they're seen, if they have a couple of kids.

00:36:29.215 --> 00:36:36.306
So what we're going to do is we're going to go in and we're going to procreate and you watch, within a couple of generations we're not even going to.

00:36:36.306 --> 00:36:37.820
We don't need to fight for it.

00:36:37.820 --> 00:36:48.101
All we need to do is go there and eventually this is going to be ours, and that there's an actual I don't remember what it is, but there's a phrase for it in Islam.

00:36:48.101 --> 00:36:50.465
So you know, that's to me.

00:36:50.465 --> 00:36:56.666
That's what's going on in England, and most Americans, I don't think, are overly concerned about it.

00:36:56.666 --> 00:37:04.268
I think you have seen some examples, like in the Minneapolis area, of of this going on, though, but it's it's still.

00:37:04.268 --> 00:37:08.606
I think it's fairly condensed and condensed, but you still see things.

00:37:08.606 --> 00:37:30.606
You still see Sharia law being practiced in certain areas of America, underground albeit, sure, but it's something that and maybe I hate to say it like this, but I don't care Like generally, I hope this world is better for my kids and grandkids.

00:37:31.054 --> 00:37:37.983
That said, I'm going to be dead in 20, 30, 40 years, unless something drastic happens.

00:37:37.983 --> 00:37:41.641
You know, maybe I'm just selfish and I go.

00:37:41.641 --> 00:37:48.840
I just want to enjoy my time here, I want to have a good job and I want to save something and leave something to my kids.

00:37:48.840 --> 00:38:10.891
When my dad passed now, four years ago, five years in October, my mom's still living, but out of circumstances, I'm not going to get anything from her, or the house or anything that's already been given to a sibling, which is a whole long story there, but I don't want to do that to my kids.

00:38:10.891 --> 00:38:12.795
I want to leave something for my kids when I go.

00:38:12.795 --> 00:38:18.047
But if I'm able to, great, and I hope I can provide a good living for them.

00:38:18.047 --> 00:38:20.360
But I'm not going to have generational wealth.

00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:28.063
Very few people will have very, very few people have generational wealth, and those two I don't blame them.

00:38:28.063 --> 00:38:49.518
Good for them, as long as you're not stealing from somebody else and this is another part we've talked about and I know we're kind of jumping around but if somebody else, if Elon Musk or Bill Gates or whoever comes up with ideas, bill Gates is a great example People talk about oh, billionaires have too much money, and I go, how do you earn it, bill Gates?

00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:59.523
It's immeasurable the amount of labor that has been saved by Bill Gates inventing Microsoft and the personal computer.

00:38:59.523 --> 00:39:16.324
What we're using right now the man hours, the opportunity and maybe somebody else, maybe Apple, makes it, maybe it's delayed by 10 or 20 years, I don't know, but at the same time he was in the right place at the right time with the right idea, the right work and things.

00:39:16.324 --> 00:39:23.827
When you start talking about how much time just using the computer to get things done in communication, just in emails and such.

00:39:23.827 --> 00:39:29.865
You're talking about literally countless hours of man, hours that have been saved by Bill Gates.

00:39:29.865 --> 00:39:40.297
And so if he's worth 80 billion or 100 billion or 150 billion or 2 trillion, good for him, because at the end of the day he's making that money.

00:39:40.297 --> 00:39:51.643
Because I'm saying here I'm willing to trade my $150 for your Microsoft package that you developed originally, and so I don't have a problem with it.

00:39:52.155 --> 00:39:54.103
I have a problem with things like Enron.

00:39:54.103 --> 00:40:04.715
I have a problem with things like Bernie Madoff when it's stolen and when it's based on lies.

00:40:04.715 --> 00:40:10.543
And I know people will say well, elon Musk, his is based on lies because he went in and took over companies.

00:40:10.543 --> 00:40:18.103
Well, okay, but he went over legally and took over companies and he obviously took over the right companies and he's an idiot.

00:40:18.103 --> 00:40:21.782
He doesn't do any of the engineering, okay, well, he hires the right people.

00:40:21.782 --> 00:40:25.056
Quick story on that, and I know I've been talking and then I'll shut up.

00:40:25.056 --> 00:40:38.786
So my older brother, who will never see this, I'm sure, but my older brother always, I think he believes he is the smartest person in the room, in any room he walks into.

00:40:38.806 --> 00:40:41.090
Bring them on, man, I love smart people, except for me.

00:40:41.090 --> 00:40:44.380
He has readily admitted that I was too smart for him.

00:40:44.380 --> 00:40:49.809
He didn't know what to do with me when I was little, which I personally think was a BS cop out to not being a good older brother.

00:40:49.809 --> 00:40:55.811
But OK, so this would have been 20 years ago when, when Bush was in office and he was just.

00:40:55.811 --> 00:40:56.670
I mean he's.

00:40:56.670 --> 00:41:00.291
He's the polar opposite of me, like politically and everything else.

00:41:00.291 --> 00:41:00.632
Right.

00:41:00.632 --> 00:41:02.032
He lives in Germany.

00:41:02.032 --> 00:41:02.992
He's an expat.

00:41:02.992 --> 00:41:05.034
He believes crystals will protect his kids.

00:41:05.034 --> 00:41:05.673
He hates Trump.

00:41:06.275 --> 00:41:11.467
I am a militaristic chaplain, you know, conservative, who believes that America is the best place.

00:41:11.467 --> 00:41:13.579
Ok, we could not be more different.

00:41:13.579 --> 00:41:17.588
And so even then, he just hated Bush.

00:41:17.588 --> 00:41:18.635
And we're talking.

00:41:18.635 --> 00:41:18.876
He's.

00:41:18.876 --> 00:41:20.418
He's just talking about what?

00:41:20.418 --> 00:41:21.380
What an idiot.

00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:25.068
George Bush is just complete dummy, and I said so.

00:41:25.068 --> 00:41:30.590
Larry, do you think you're, in all seriousness, do you think you're smarter than President Bush?

00:41:30.590 --> 00:41:31.574
He goes well, absolutely.

00:41:31.574 --> 00:41:32.637
I said okay.

00:41:32.637 --> 00:41:33.940
Well, let me make a point then.

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:37.047
Let's presume you are smarter than President Bush.

00:41:37.956 --> 00:41:43.925
You're an underemployed person who has no real nothing foundational.

00:41:43.925 --> 00:41:45.449
You didn't go to college.

00:41:45.449 --> 00:41:47.271
Who has no real nothing foundational.

00:41:47.271 --> 00:41:48.914
You didn't go to college.

00:41:48.914 --> 00:42:01.123
You basically bopped around your life being a effective pothead ski bum, who has tried to settle into a corporate life, and you can't because you can't make that adjustment.

00:42:02.054 --> 00:42:11.847
Meanwhile, the dummy that's in the White House went to Yale, went to Harvard, was the CEO of multiple companies, including the Texas Rangers baseball team.

00:42:11.847 --> 00:42:13.137
He's been the governor of Texas.

00:42:13.137 --> 00:42:14.440
Now he's president of the United States.

00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:30.242
So, whether he's had advantages or not getting into Yale and Harvard, because of his family, because of his dad, fine, but he still had to take advantage of every opportunity and surround himself with smarter people than he is and listen to them.

00:42:30.242 --> 00:42:32.809
So who's the dummy, him or Bush?

00:42:32.809 --> 00:42:41.476
You know who's dumber, you or him, because and this is for me, look, I could be the smartest guy in the room.

00:42:41.476 --> 00:42:48.248
But Bush, all the accomplishments of what he's done compared to me, they're not even close right.

00:42:48.248 --> 00:43:03.503
I think most of us would trade our lives for the accomplishment you know if it's a straight-up trade the accomplishments for what George W Bush has succeeded in versus the rest of us, because he's one of what 43 people that have been president?

00:43:03.503 --> 00:43:03.943
44?

00:43:03.943 --> 00:43:07.798
Because we have 47, but some of them were, I don't know.

00:43:07.818 --> 00:43:09.639
if I want that pressure, I'll take the access, though.

00:43:10.536 --> 00:43:13.697
But you know what I mean though, right Just?

00:43:13.717 --> 00:43:14.702
the accomplishments.

00:43:14.922 --> 00:43:23.260
Yeah, you and I, we're not going to be known, we're not going to be remembered, we're not going to be in history books 500 years from now.

00:43:23.260 --> 00:43:31.996
George W Bush will be For good.

00:43:31.996 --> 00:43:33.338
Not going to be in history books 500 years from now.

00:43:33.338 --> 00:43:34.221
George w bush will be for good or bad.

00:43:34.221 --> 00:43:39.153
He will be, he will have, he will have a bio that says okay, now I have to think I was here 40, 43rd president of the united states.

00:43:39.213 --> 00:43:39.614
Is that what it is?

00:43:40.695 --> 00:43:42.201
yeah, he's obama is 40.

00:43:42.201 --> 00:43:46.235
Yeah, yeah, because obama is 44, yeah, yeah trump Obama was 44, trump's 45.

00:43:46.235 --> 00:43:53.152
Yeah, trump's 45, so 43, yeah, so Well, that was quite.

00:43:53.152 --> 00:43:55.641
I'm sorry I completely tangenced there, didn't I?

00:43:55.882 --> 00:43:58.923
No, you're good, I like that riff.

00:43:58.923 --> 00:44:03.141
No man, it's, I am.

00:44:03.141 --> 00:44:05.880
I think this administration is Just.

00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.525
I don't know, man.

00:44:09.237 --> 00:44:10.461
I am in wait and see mode.

00:44:10.461 --> 00:44:17.547
Like I said, I am so excited for the SCOTUS sessions this year.

00:44:17.547 --> 00:44:20.704
I told you how I felt about it.

00:44:20.704 --> 00:44:29.168
I think we talked about it a little lot last year about how I wasn't looking forward to how the SCOTUS was set up.

00:44:29.168 --> 00:44:33.661
And you know I was excited for the baby SCOTUSs because I feel like they're more.

00:44:33.661 --> 00:44:45.297
I think they're more lenient or at least more willing to hear cases and they hadn't been as corrupt to hear cases and they hadn't been as corrupt.

00:44:45.297 --> 00:44:50.862
But those institutionalist scotuses I think they're going to have a difficult time.

00:44:52.103 --> 00:45:00.552
I just so you look at Alito and Thomas as the institutionalist bedrocks, correct?

00:45:00.552 --> 00:45:17.105
Yeah, they are, but do you think they're any more institutional bedrock for their political belief, for their constitutional interpretations, than Sotomayor and Kagan are for their side?

00:45:17.746 --> 00:45:19.067
about party.

00:45:19.067 --> 00:45:21.668
I think they give a shit about who's in their pockets.

00:45:21.668 --> 00:45:33.516
I don't think it's about party and I don't think it's been about party in a very long time.

00:45:33.516 --> 00:45:35.320
I think it's about sponsorship.

00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:37.623
We'll see.

00:45:37.623 --> 00:45:50.067
Here's where their philosophy is going to conflict with who is sponsoring them.

00:45:50.067 --> 00:45:58.829
Right, because for the longest time, alito and Thomas has been using the Constitution as a prop.

00:45:58.829 --> 00:46:03.806
Right, as a as an excuse of this is why we can't I'm an originalist.

00:46:03.996 --> 00:46:08.960
I believe in the Constitution and it's a founding document and it's this and it's that right.

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:17.824
Well, now you have a POTUS who has essentially said you know, for better or for worse, fuck the Constitution.

00:46:17.824 --> 00:46:23.483
I'm doing things my way and I'm going to challenge everything with my interpretation.

00:46:23.483 --> 00:46:29.280
Everything goes through me, by me and for me Interpretation of what.

00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:34.103
His interpretation of the Constitution.

00:46:34.775 --> 00:46:35.295
There you go.

00:46:35.295 --> 00:46:37.722
That's the key to it.

00:46:37.722 --> 00:47:19.057
But that's the key to all of this is you're talking about the interpretation of the constitution and that's where, like you said, scotus is really interesting, because you already have two rock-solid, we'll say, originalists, yeah, two rock-solid progressives, right, and you used to have kind of four and four fairly clear, and then the one in the middle, and I don't think now, I don't think it's like that, I think you have four that really are Lucy, not Lucy Goosey are willing to.

00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:21.800
They can go either way.

00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:47.454
Look, there's nothing that says the Constitution hasn't changed outside of the amendments, right?

00:47:48.297 --> 00:47:53.427
So unless there's a constitutional amendment, we can agree that the Constitution itself does not change.

00:47:53.427 --> 00:48:04.199
The interpretation does, but not the cost and that's where the problem lies is the interpretation, because the interpretation used to be that owning a black, that a black person, was just property, right?

00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:06.079
Right, dred Scott.

00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:11.443
So you have the failure of people when it comes to the interpretation.

00:48:11.443 --> 00:48:16.005
You don't have the failure of the document, Right, and so that's where?

00:48:16.005 --> 00:48:23.748
And curious, I think it's always funny when you hear people say well, look at what it says in the Constitution about the Second Amendment.

00:48:23.748 --> 00:48:26.108
It doesn't mean everybody can have a gun.

00:48:26.108 --> 00:48:30.251
It's like well, hold on the First Amendment.

00:48:30.251 --> 00:48:39.856
You don't like parts about the First Amendment, but the first like especially this argument, this is the one that kills me every time I hear it.

00:48:39.876 --> 00:48:49.891
Well, when the makers of the, when the framers of the Constitution, the writers of the Constitution, what they were doing, they didn't know that there were going to be guns that could fire a thousand rounds a minute.

00:48:49.891 --> 00:48:59.286
They didn't know there were going to be AR-16, evil AR-16s that could kill and make bullet holes this big in the back of people.

00:48:59.286 --> 00:49:07.385
They would, yeah, well, right, but I mean, but that's the argument, right, and I say yeah, but you know what?

00:49:07.385 --> 00:49:10.000
The first amendment also the.

00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:24.945
When they wrote the first amendment, they were using quills and ink and and writing stuff down and putting it in wax and send it and say, hey, get this to philadelphia, we're in washington, get this to philadelphia as soon as possible and get me a response.

00:49:24.945 --> 00:49:31.998
Ok, well, it's going to be about three weeks before we, before they get that response.

00:49:31.998 --> 00:49:48.684
So they couldn't imagine the situation where you could literally like in the palm of my hand, if I want, I could literally right now text somebody in Australia and get a response literally in seconds.

00:49:49.335 --> 00:49:59.454
So they couldn't comprehend that Our news cycles or instant media yeah, so that's where the argument of the Constitution versus the interpretation of the Constitution.

00:49:59.454 --> 00:50:01.903
Yeah, I agree, it's going to be interesting.

00:50:02.076 --> 00:50:03.153
You're going to run up against this.

00:50:03.153 --> 00:50:11.648
You're going to run up against what the institutionalists, the foundational SCOTUSes are going to have 30 years.

00:50:11.648 --> 00:50:13.701
Yeah, Alito is about 30.

00:50:13.701 --> 00:50:15.519
He's about 25, 30 years.

00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:20.043
Now You're going to have Thomas is over 40.

00:50:20.717 --> 00:50:23.487
He was in the early early 80s, in the early 80s.

00:50:24.577 --> 00:50:33.922
But here you're going to have opinions where they've ruled before, that are contrary to what the interpretation is now.

00:50:34.414 --> 00:50:38.878
So now, You've got the SCOTUS receipts, you get what I'm saying so now.

00:50:39.721 --> 00:50:45.782
Either you were wrong then or you're wrong now and you have to make amends for that.

00:50:45.782 --> 00:50:56.510
And that is where I think it's going to get good for the SCOTUS, because now you have to reconcile with yourself and say, okay, that is.

00:50:56.510 --> 00:51:05.233
And then one thing about CT is he does not like to admit he was wrong, he does not like to recant a goddamn thing.

00:51:05.233 --> 00:51:06.581
And that is going to be.

00:51:06.581 --> 00:51:17.340
I'm telling you, I am going to watch with a hawkish eye his every word.

00:51:17.340 --> 00:51:20.027
He doesn't like to talk during sessions.

00:51:20.027 --> 00:51:23.202
He just kind of sits in the corner and just does his own thing.

00:51:23.202 --> 00:51:28.565
But I am going to read fervently his words this session.

00:51:28.565 --> 00:51:33.336
I am going to thoroughly enjoy SCOTUS sessions this year.

00:51:33.336 --> 00:51:39.865
This is one of those things where I am so excited and so looking forward to it.

00:51:39.865 --> 00:51:42.121
I've given this administration up.

00:51:42.422 --> 00:51:43.766
I just assume it's a wash.

00:51:43.766 --> 00:51:45.077
I'm taking honor.

00:51:45.077 --> 00:51:46.463
I don't think they're going to make it.

00:51:46.463 --> 00:51:54.648
They have so many egos, so many weird personalities where it's just not going to work.

00:51:54.648 --> 00:51:59.003
You got a dude that just I don't know.

00:51:59.003 --> 00:52:03.438
I don't know Like it's fun and games now Everybody's.

00:52:03.438 --> 00:52:07.320
You know Everybody's cute now All the antics and shit.

00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:09.641
But it's going to grow old quick.

00:52:15.860 --> 00:52:16.884
I hear what you're saying.

00:52:16.884 --> 00:52:43.097
I'm curious, though, how much Thomas will and let's just stay with thomas how much thomas will amend his previous um positions, because in 40 years, in 40 years, he is never, not a single time.

00:52:43.117 --> 00:52:47.483
So that's why I'm saying, that's why I said now it's going to get interesting, because he is never.

00:52:47.483 --> 00:52:53.431
Even when faced, even when faced with his own words, he just shrugged it and was just like yeah, whatever.

00:52:53.431 --> 00:53:00.400
So now I am, that's why I said this is, this is going to be great for me.

00:53:00.521 --> 00:53:11.630
And that's where I say like, even if, if you look back and you say, ok, I made the decision at the time with the best information available, are you going to have?

00:53:11.730 --> 00:53:25.092
Is Clarence Thomas going to Going to say, and I'm trying to think of a situation I would say something like same sex marriage?

00:53:25.092 --> 00:53:26.135
But he was against same sex marriage to begin with and always has been.

00:53:26.135 --> 00:53:31.085
But I'm trying to think of a situation that has changed from, say, 1985 to 2025.

00:53:31.085 --> 00:53:37.755
Maybe something along the lines of, I don't know, because it has changed so much.

00:53:37.755 --> 00:53:46.170
Let's say, intellectual rights, for I don't know like, let's say, actors likeness on AI OK, let's say that, because I don't know if there's been a ruling on that.

00:53:46.170 --> 00:53:48.625
I don't know, like, let's say, actors likeness on AI Okay, well, let's say that, because I don't know if there's been a ruling on that.

00:53:48.625 --> 00:54:07.228
I don't know if he said things on that, but if you had a ruling that Thomas had done in the early stages of the internet, in 19, let's say 1995, when it came to, and I'm completely making this up so in 1995, and I'm completely making this up so in 1995, Clarence Thomas said it is it?

00:54:07.228 --> 00:54:28.155
I believe it should be illegal to share photographs of other people without their consent because of the privacy you know, the privacy of the 14th, the 14th amendment, garrett garrett has some privacy guarantees, right.

00:54:28.155 --> 00:54:34.708
And so I think in 1995, thomas says nope, you should not be able to share photos.

00:54:34.708 --> 00:54:41.208
Fast forward 30 years and, for whatever reason, somebody you know, let's say the ncaa.

00:54:41.208 --> 00:54:48.217
The ncaa says hey, um, you know, our athletes come up and they're saying, hey, our like and kindness deals.

00:54:48.217 --> 00:55:20.748
We want not only to be heard about like and kindness that we've already done but we also want to have some protections that, even though we've been paid for our likeness, that an AI company cannot come in and manipulate our images, yeah, and the argument is well, in 95, you said it was illegal to share without the consent.

00:55:20.748 --> 00:55:28.840
But in 2025, well, you've already been paid for your like in kindness, right, you've already been paid for your image.

00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:48.054
So once you've been paid for that image, if the NCAA wants to turn around and resell it to Grok and Grok can now make replays, sports center highlights of your likeness going and playing in the new NBA jams you should be able to right.

00:55:48.576 --> 00:56:08.976
So I could see a situation where, because we are in certain situations so drastically different in the last 30 or 40 years, different in the last 30 or 40 years.

00:56:08.976 --> 00:56:11.902
I don't think it's even debatable that we have had the most advance in technology in the world.

00:56:11.902 --> 00:56:20.414
In every aspect of human life has advanced the most in the past 40 years than any other 40 year period in the history of the world.

00:56:20.414 --> 00:56:23.322
Just, the wheel was like one big thing.

00:56:23.322 --> 00:56:27.641
Well, we've had the internet, space travel, airplanes, go on and on and on, right.

00:56:28.543 --> 00:56:39.273
So, if so, if Clarence Thomas looks at that and he says, well, yeah, in 95, I, I ruled that way because the internet was just starting out, and that's just, it was very, it was a very, very different.

00:56:39.273 --> 00:56:41.947
And now, societally, that's just, it was very, it was a very, very different.

00:56:41.947 --> 00:56:45.235
And now, societally, that's kind of a norm thing is to share pictures.

00:56:45.235 --> 00:56:49.025
And so if not only sharing pictures, somebody got paid for it already.

00:56:49.025 --> 00:56:54.208
Well, yeah, so I could see him potentially changing.

00:56:54.394 --> 00:56:56.824
But I think it would have to be along those lines.

00:56:56.824 --> 00:56:58.922
I think it would have to be fairly drastic.

00:56:58.922 --> 00:57:07.128
I don't think it would be along the lines of, hey, um, you know, I, I was against same sex marriage.

00:57:07.128 --> 00:57:37.543
I think this, the Lawrence, uh, where homosexuality was, was not, uh, illegal anymore, the Lawrence decision, uh, and whatever the the same sex one ended up being I know it was Prop 8, but that wasn't the name, it was Obergefell, and I don't think there's going to be one where he comes out and goes well, you know, I'm going to vote the same way because this group wants to make throuples legal, and so well, you know what?

00:57:37.543 --> 00:57:38.407
Yeah, that's okay.

00:57:38.407 --> 00:57:40.521
Oh, you giggle.

00:57:40.521 --> 00:57:45.784
One of my nieces was on that throuples reality show.

00:57:45.784 --> 00:57:49.717
Hi, mia, I watched the show a little bit.

00:57:49.717 --> 00:57:50.661
It was interesting.

00:57:53.521 --> 00:57:56.679
I don't know man, I found it.

00:57:56.679 --> 00:58:02.027
I think Barrett's going to be interesting.

00:58:02.027 --> 00:58:04.237
She's a little.

00:58:04.237 --> 00:58:04.619
She's.

00:58:04.619 --> 00:58:07.206
She's a lot more moderate than I, than I assume.

00:58:07.206 --> 00:58:13.255
Her what's the boy that caught hell doing his confirmation Kavanaugh?

00:58:13.255 --> 00:58:17.425
He's, he's moderate, but I think I think he'll.

00:58:17.425 --> 00:58:20.938
He'll be, he'll be somewhere.

00:58:20.938 --> 00:58:23.865
He'll be more right than moderate.

00:58:23.865 --> 00:58:30.146
I believe KGB will be more left than moderate, so they'll balance each other out for the most part.

00:58:30.295 --> 00:58:30.596
Saddam.

00:58:30.635 --> 00:58:32.302
Oyer be more left than moderate.

00:58:32.302 --> 00:58:36.074
I think it's going to be interesting.

00:58:36.235 --> 00:58:36.336
And.

00:58:36.478 --> 00:58:39.054
I'm really, really excited, like I am really excited.

00:58:39.195 --> 00:59:00.655
So so, with what you just said and just ran through those different choices, do you think the people on the the left especially, but including the Senate that were so vitriolic against those picks?

00:59:00.655 --> 00:59:03.965
And it wasn't because Kavanaugh?

00:59:03.965 --> 00:59:08.327
They didn't go after Kavanaugh because he was a random.

00:59:08.327 --> 00:59:19.981
He was just a dude who in college liked to drink beer right, he was targeted because they thought he was going to be another Thomas and another Alito.

00:59:19.981 --> 00:59:21.619
They went after him.

00:59:21.619 --> 00:59:26.795
I will still say to this day that the woman who got in front of him.

00:59:27.356 --> 00:59:36.047
Well, that and the rape thing, I think Like, I think the rape thing was like, I mean it's guilty.

00:59:36.068 --> 00:59:36.889
There were so many.

00:59:37.695 --> 00:59:38.418
But you know what I?

00:59:38.778 --> 00:59:41.025
mean Exactly, it's one of those things.

00:59:45.554 --> 00:59:49.780
When that lady came out I was like, hey, that judge raped me.

00:59:49.780 --> 00:59:51.201
It was a bald-faced lie.

00:59:51.201 --> 00:59:53.244
Then it's a bald-faced lie now.

00:59:53.244 --> 00:59:55.186
There was no proof.

00:59:55.186 --> 01:00:01.938
None of her friends even supported her saying, yeah, she told me about that you have.

01:00:01.938 --> 01:00:13.443
So I'm saying, does Kavanaugh deserve and don't get me wrong, he'll never get it but Kavanaugh absolutely deserves an apology.

01:00:13.443 --> 01:00:14.617
But that's what.

01:00:14.617 --> 01:00:30.427
When you talk about dirty politics and I think we talked about the Nixon Kennedy thing, we talked about this Nixon-Kennedy thing, we talked about this To be fair, your boy McConnell was a whole hole for that too, because that shouldn't have never been Kavanaugh's seat in the first place.

01:00:31.135 --> 01:00:36.014
Obama should have been able to fill that seat way before Kavanaugh got a shot.

01:00:36.014 --> 01:00:39.061
That was a bitch move, and Kavanaugh can burn in hell for that.

01:00:39.061 --> 01:00:40.673
How a bitch move, and Kavanaugh how can burn in hell for that.

01:00:41.155 --> 01:00:47.228
That was how dare you, sir, how dare you, sir, calling Mitch McConnell my guy?

01:00:47.228 --> 01:00:49.519
He got a special place.

01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:51.306
I hope, I hope he burns.

01:00:51.306 --> 01:00:59.737
I hope he has the slowest, most painful, agonizing syphilis induced death ever induced man death, ever induced man.

01:00:59.797 --> 01:01:05.606
Now, harry Reid, who was the Democrat majority leader for a long time, is of my faith.

01:01:05.606 --> 01:01:10.498
He is of my faith, he is a member of the.

01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:13.065
It was his idea to induce that dumbass decision.

01:01:15.155 --> 01:01:20.447
Harry Reid set up McConnell for all those decisions.

01:01:20.447 --> 01:01:31.606
He was like I'm going to do all this because we're in charge right now, not thinking, hey, you know what Four years from now, when the Republicans are in charge, they could do this too.

01:01:31.606 --> 01:01:38.447
So yeah, harry Reid, back in the day I thought he was a despicable person.

01:01:38.447 --> 01:01:45.961
My niece met him, said he's a great guy, he's a good guy, talked to him at church but I said I don't care, he is a horrible person.

01:01:45.961 --> 01:01:51.934
And McConnell is just the opposite version Idiot.

01:01:51.934 --> 01:01:54.143
Yeah, he's just the film negative.

01:01:54.143 --> 01:01:56.074
They are two pieces of the pod.

01:01:56.074 --> 01:01:59.237
They both deserve whatever they get in the afterlife.

01:01:59.237 --> 01:01:59.699
Two peas at a pod.

01:01:59.699 --> 01:02:01.119
They both deserve whatever they get in the afterlife.

01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:06.204
And McConnell the fact McConnell's announced his retirement at the end of next year is ridiculous.

01:02:06.204 --> 01:02:09.688
He should be out 10 years ago.

01:02:09.748 --> 01:02:10.389
He's been freezing.

01:02:18.735 --> 01:02:21.311
He's done everything but fall and flat on his face while in front of reporters and the dude is still.

01:02:21.311 --> 01:02:34.461
How do you get you and I talked about this a little bit online how do you get rid of a senator that is clearly diminished if he doesn't want to go or she?

01:02:34.461 --> 01:02:36.246
You can't, you can't recall him.

01:02:37.168 --> 01:02:39.619
Unfortunately you can't, they're just, they're stuck there.

01:02:39.619 --> 01:02:41.164
And then, what's her name?

01:02:41.164 --> 01:02:41.925
Ponson.

01:02:41.925 --> 01:02:43.920
Is she still alive?

01:02:44.804 --> 01:02:45.405
No, she died.

01:02:45.405 --> 01:02:47.181
That's the only reason she got out of her seat.

01:02:47.181 --> 01:02:47.923
Yeah.

01:02:49.219 --> 01:02:50.605
You got to do something like that.

01:02:50.605 --> 01:02:57.521
You should not be able to, you should not be able to like Die in office of old age.

01:02:57.521 --> 01:03:02.023
Like she was in, wasn't she in an old folks home?

01:03:05.260 --> 01:03:11.677
There was a Republican that they found in the house that she went missing last summer.

01:03:11.677 --> 01:03:13.920
She went missing, no roll calls.

01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:21.019
They found her in an old folks home for dementia Insane.

01:03:21.019 --> 01:03:21.420
Think about it.

01:03:21.420 --> 01:03:43.215
We talk about the swamp in DC, and it's not just deep state, the swamp is just as much those career politicians, career administrators for politicians right, because if you are, if I get, let's say, let's say I run for Congress, right, and I win here, in whatever district this is.

01:03:43.335 --> 01:03:45.621
I think I'm in the like Georgia 12th or something.

01:03:45.621 --> 01:03:46.445
Honestly, I don't even know.

01:03:46.445 --> 01:03:49.963
So that's why it was nice to live in Utah.

01:03:49.963 --> 01:03:51.586
We only had three districts when I grew up.

01:03:51.586 --> 01:03:53.938
I know I know which district I was in back then.

01:03:53.938 --> 01:04:05.231
So so, if I get, if I get, not, if I win the election now, I'm going to have my staff here in Georgia, but I'm going to need some people that know DC.

01:04:05.231 --> 01:04:15.322
And so, even if, if my staff, I'm not going to have a huge staff, but I think I'm going to have, you know, five to 10 people on staff I think that's about what most people have before interns.

01:04:16.195 --> 01:04:17.157
And let's, let's cut it down.

01:04:17.157 --> 01:04:21.257
Let's say a nice even number like six or six, and let's, let's cut it down.

01:04:21.257 --> 01:04:22.541
Let's say a nice even number like six, six yeah, I'm gonna be.

01:04:22.541 --> 01:04:29.699
I'm gonna bring three or four from georgia with me, that I know, and then I'm gonna have to have two or three that I pick up in dc, that know dc.

01:04:29.699 --> 01:04:36.418
With those two in dc that are huge problem, because I can go in and say this is you know what?

01:04:36.418 --> 01:04:46.036
Kg and I, when we were pox, we were talking about doing this and this and this and this, and I promised that when I got to DC I was going to do this, this, this and this.

01:04:46.036 --> 01:04:47.802
I want to do those four things.

01:04:47.802 --> 01:04:49.007
What do I need to do?

01:04:49.007 --> 01:04:51.355
Let's go and those two are going to go.

01:04:51.355 --> 01:05:05.005
Hold on, chaplain, if you want to get those four things done, what we really need to do is look at those four things and see which of the four is even possible to do, because you can't get those first three done.

01:05:05.025 --> 01:05:28.085
That fourth one maybe, maybe in a couple of years, once you've established yourself, because and how you're going to have to establish yourself is you're going to have to go and you're going to have to meet with this person, this person, this person, this person, who are all senior leadership, and you're going to have to pledge fealty to them and then, if they have a bill that comes up, I'm going whoa, I don't believe in that at all.

01:05:28.085 --> 01:05:31.842
Well, you know that fourth thing you were talking about, that you wanted passed.

01:05:31.842 --> 01:05:42.318
If you don't vote for our thing, you're going to be out in, we're going to, we're going to put you out in the offices back in siberia and we're never gonna let a single bill that yours comes up.

01:05:42.318 --> 01:05:47.396
You are part of this party and we don't care if you believe in this or not.

01:05:47.396 --> 01:05:51.114
If you don't fall for it, we're not going to support you for your re-election.

01:05:51.114 --> 01:05:52.076
We're not going to.

01:05:52.516 --> 01:05:56.681
And so your staff is going and they're doing all the the stuff.

01:05:56.681 --> 01:06:05.418
When we talk about the leaders and all that stuff the world leaders that's not where the stuff gets done.

01:06:05.418 --> 01:06:06.081
It gets stuff.

01:06:06.081 --> 01:06:07.164
The Lord.

01:06:07.164 --> 01:06:11.556
Two or three steps down, they're making the sausage.

01:06:11.958 --> 01:06:15.916
And then Trump and Zelensky come out and say I hate you, I hate you, but here's the peace deal.

01:06:15.916 --> 01:06:19.063
But that all got worked out two or three levels down Right.

01:06:19.063 --> 01:06:22.056
So to me that's another part of it.

01:06:22.056 --> 01:06:41.028
But that's also why Trump can't do anything about that, because those people do not fall under the executive branch, they fall under the legislative branch and until you have legislature that the senators and representative of the House that say you know what, you've been here how long?

01:06:41.028 --> 01:06:42.480
I'm not hiring you.

01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:47.367
Anybody that's been in DC for over 10 years, I don't want you.

01:06:47.367 --> 01:06:54.663
If I were to ever go to DC, if I was ever elected and I won't be, I'm not gonna run, I don't have the money, et cetera.

01:06:54.663 --> 01:07:07.657
If some billionaire came and said, hey, chaplain, I'm gonna support when you retire, I'm going to support and I'm going to back you, I'd be like great.

01:07:07.657 --> 01:07:10.534
And if I won, I guarantee you right now I wouldn't take a single person to DC because I don't trust any of them.

01:07:13.443 --> 01:07:14.789
And that's and that's where.

01:07:14.931 --> 01:07:15.813
Trump is right now.

01:07:15.813 --> 01:07:21.675
You and I are talking about this.

01:07:21.675 --> 01:07:21.800
Well, you guys do, because he doesn't.

01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:22.349
He doesn't trust, he doesn't trust these people.

01:07:22.349 --> 01:07:30.101
But you have an eccentric billionaire in there who, so called, is a hell bit on chaos and instead of doing all of those Great and wonderful things like cleaning the swamp, they're stealing fucking data.

01:07:31.824 --> 01:07:34.114
Wow, I thought Elon.

01:07:34.114 --> 01:07:35.474
I thought Elon.

01:07:35.474 --> 01:07:36.527
So here's the thing.

01:07:36.527 --> 01:07:39.163
I thought Elon, somebody brought this up with him.

01:07:39.163 --> 01:07:52.987
Somebody shot that accusation to him on X and he said if I was in here just to steal people's data, why wouldn't I have done that when I was at PayPal, when I had all the data I needed then?

01:07:55.135 --> 01:07:58.362
Because PayPal only has a couple of what?

01:07:58.362 --> 01:07:58.963
A couple?

01:07:58.963 --> 01:08:02.009
Maybe a couple of million servers, if that.

01:08:03.777 --> 01:08:13.875
But if you're looking at data and you're looking at analytics between PayPal and X, how much more is there Like?

01:08:13.875 --> 01:08:20.748
Is it because he's going into the Treasury Department to see who makes how much money?

01:08:20.748 --> 01:08:22.600
Again, paypal had all that.

01:08:23.055 --> 01:08:26.863
Do you realize how much data he has access to?

01:08:26.863 --> 01:08:39.159
It's not that I'm saying, okay, he's been to the IRS, right, doe he's been into what other places has he been?

01:08:39.159 --> 01:08:42.461
Into Treasury he's gotten.

01:08:42.461 --> 01:08:51.918
So he has unfeathered access into every, basically every department, every government department, right, every government department Unfeathered access.

01:08:51.918 --> 01:08:55.524
So he has unprecedented access.

01:08:55.524 --> 01:08:57.140
Twitter does not have that access.

01:08:57.140 --> 01:08:59.314
Twitter couldn't get that kind of access.

01:08:59.314 --> 01:09:00.716
Neither can PayPal.

01:09:00.716 --> 01:09:03.221
So I got it right.

01:09:03.221 --> 01:09:06.226
And what else is he supposed to say?

01:09:06.226 --> 01:09:08.997
Oh, no, I'm not stealing your data.

01:09:08.997 --> 01:09:10.180
It's like you're asking the bank.

01:09:10.180 --> 01:09:12.145
Of course, no, I get that.

01:09:12.145 --> 01:09:13.448
Are you in here to rob this bank?

01:09:13.448 --> 01:09:14.596
Absolutely not.

01:09:14.596 --> 01:09:19.739
I'm just wearing this mask and carrying this shotgun because you know it's my Second Amendment, right?

01:09:19.739 --> 01:09:21.926
I'm not here to steal anything.

01:09:22.576 --> 01:09:23.954
See, and I look at it the opposite.

01:09:23.954 --> 01:09:30.708
I look at it and saying why would Elon rob a bank when he's worth half a trillion dollars and is the richest man in the world?

01:09:31.135 --> 01:09:35.922
Sure Well, I mean, like I said, we'll find out it just, it looks real funny.

01:09:36.295 --> 01:09:40.002
I mean it just it Well, ok, does it look funny?

01:09:40.002 --> 01:09:41.520
Does it look funny?

01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:43.128
Does it look funny because it's never been done.

01:09:43.128 --> 01:09:45.783
Now, remember when you and I were talking last year.

01:09:45.783 --> 01:09:58.483
This is what I said, something along the lines of we've been doing the same thing, we've been voting in the same type of people for decades and we have been as a as a country.

01:09:58.483 --> 01:10:06.560
We've been on a slow decline since, and World War Two, like that, was kind of I would say that's kind of peak.

01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:18.706
Could have been more peak if, if segregation had actually worked at that point and you know the soldiers that came home and the GI Bill and all that stuff.

01:10:18.706 --> 01:10:24.987
But regardless of of past errors, I would say that's probably a high point for our country.

01:10:24.987 --> 01:10:26.328
We were on a slow.

01:10:26.328 --> 01:10:29.264
Vietnam definitely hammered it down.

01:10:29.914 --> 01:10:33.042
The 80s came along Good, nice bump for money.

01:10:33.042 --> 01:10:36.659
Internet came along in the 90s Awesome for knowledge.

01:10:36.659 --> 01:10:48.900
9-11 happened, huge patriotic surge again.

01:10:48.900 --> 01:11:01.529
Since then, pretty consistent decline, but surely less, maybe less.

01:11:01.529 --> 01:11:05.052
Presidential is the word less honorable, less trustworthy?

01:11:05.052 --> 01:11:06.560
Should we say presidential?

01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:07.619
Is that a good word for it?

01:11:07.619 --> 01:11:10.220
Just people you want representing us?

01:11:10.220 --> 01:11:12.824
I'm going to tell you, what's the word?

01:11:13.246 --> 01:11:13.445
No.

01:11:13.445 --> 01:11:16.939
So we, like I said, we've all been optimistic.

01:11:16.939 --> 01:11:20.755
But here's my thing right, when you have Optimistic, no, no.

01:11:20.755 --> 01:11:21.315
So here's my thing.

01:11:21.315 --> 01:11:21.476
Right.

01:11:21.476 --> 01:11:22.578
When you have a semester, no, no, I'm dead.

01:11:22.578 --> 01:11:27.448
So here's my thing when you have heart trouble, you don't go see a podiatrist.

01:11:27.448 --> 01:11:28.475
Right.

01:11:28.475 --> 01:11:36.681
When you have, when you, when you're having a mental disorder, you don't go see a dermatologist, Scientologists right?

01:11:36.681 --> 01:11:39.944
Those two things are incompatible, right?

01:11:39.944 --> 01:11:46.689
Or you know, when you need to go plant roses in your backyard, you don't go hire a veterinary.

01:11:46.689 --> 01:11:50.652
Those two things are incompatible, they don't make sense, right?

01:11:54.984 --> 01:11:56.234
And when you're doing audits, you don't hire coders.

01:11:56.234 --> 01:11:58.337
It don't make sense.

01:11:58.337 --> 01:12:12.778
But when you are trying to cut fraud, waste and abuse, when you've had somebody that has done that with companies and gone in and cut the fat and increased efficiency.

01:12:12.778 --> 01:12:14.341
And look at twitter.

01:12:14.341 --> 01:12:19.056
Remember when elon bought twitter, what was the first thing he did?

01:12:19.056 --> 01:12:20.402
How many people did he fire?

01:12:21.354 --> 01:12:22.880
That's what everybody likes, I love.

01:12:22.899 --> 01:12:23.180
Twitter.

01:12:23.180 --> 01:12:28.375
I love Twitter, right, but but remember, he fired what was it Like?

01:12:28.375 --> 01:12:38.309
Half of the half of the staff and he said we're going to get rid of all this nonsense of juice bars and this and that.

01:12:38.309 --> 01:12:41.500
And he, he fired half of them and another 10% quit.

01:12:41.500 --> 01:12:47.729
And everybody says you know everybody on the left, the MSNBC oh, twitter's dead, it's it.

01:12:47.729 --> 01:12:51.082
This is the biggest mistake that Musk could have made.

01:12:51.082 --> 01:12:55.963
And you know MSNBC, joy Reed jumping up and down saying watch what happens.

01:12:55.963 --> 01:12:57.877
Twitter's dead because of this dummy.

01:12:57.877 --> 01:13:00.320
And nothing against Joy Reid.

01:13:00.320 --> 01:13:12.216
I really appreciate that you just got fired, but but I don't know what she said about Musk, so I retract that.

01:13:12.216 --> 01:13:14.983
She said that, but you did have multiple, so X is doing pretty well now.

01:13:14.983 --> 01:13:16.726
Right, I think it's still the go to.

01:13:16.726 --> 01:13:19.082
You don't think X is still the go to media.

01:13:20.154 --> 01:13:22.103
It probably is, but X is in the red.

01:13:22.103 --> 01:13:25.103
X is still losing money.

01:13:26.516 --> 01:13:27.622
Has X ever turned a profit?

01:13:29.076 --> 01:13:30.100
Before Elon had it.

01:13:30.100 --> 01:13:31.920
Yes, not since he had it.

01:13:31.920 --> 01:13:36.304
Okay, it could eventually.

01:13:36.304 --> 01:13:36.752
I don't think they've recovered yet.

01:13:36.752 --> 01:13:38.966
It could eventually.

01:13:38.966 --> 01:13:42.083
I don't think that.

01:13:42.083 --> 01:13:43.911
I don't think they've recovered yet.

01:13:43.911 --> 01:13:51.975
Still, still, you know, I don't think they've recovered yet, I haven't looked into it, but I don't think they have.

01:13:53.902 --> 01:13:59.663
I know part of that was Part of that was also because they my user statistics statistics.

01:13:59.663 --> 01:14:14.779
Even though has not reported net profit law, oh, it hasn't reported its net profit or loss for 22 or 23 and then the company bought it.

01:14:14.779 --> 01:14:19.335
So when did when did Musk buy X?

01:14:19.335 --> 01:14:21.654
When did Musk buy X?

01:14:21.654 --> 01:14:25.338
When did he buy it 2020?

01:14:25.338 --> 01:14:25.720
What?

01:14:25.720 --> 01:14:32.081
When did Elon buy?

01:14:32.081 --> 01:14:34.021
I love that we're doing live.

01:14:34.082 --> 01:14:34.724
No, you're good.

01:14:34.724 --> 01:14:36.880
We're good because I want to make sure.

01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:40.863
Because I want to make sure they did the same thing with Donald Trump.

01:14:40.863 --> 01:14:44.755
They praised Donald Trump For his business acumen.

01:14:46.805 --> 01:14:52.875
So here's the thing Twitter Was purchased by Elon Musk In 2022.

01:14:52.875 --> 01:14:59.365
Okay, 2022, here's the numbers.

01:14:59.365 --> 01:15:02.896
Okay, and we'll go back to the big ones.

01:15:02.896 --> 01:15:14.483
So from 2012 to 2017, it was losing between $80 million and $108 million.

01:15:14.483 --> 01:15:27.328
In 2018, turned a $1.2 billion profit 2019, $1.47 billion profit Pretty good, right.

01:15:27.328 --> 01:15:31.291
But then it lost $1.4 billion in 2020.

01:15:31.291 --> 01:15:36.113
And then it lost $221 million in 2021.

01:15:36.113 --> 01:15:44.595
So it had two good years, so it recovered.

01:15:44.595 --> 01:15:45.899
Now it was still, even after, it's still in the red overall.

01:15:45.899 --> 01:15:50.237
The whole time it's been around just looking at the numbers, um, but it was good.

01:15:50.237 --> 01:15:53.740
In 2018 and 2019 were the two positive years.

01:15:53.740 --> 01:15:59.389
2020 basically wiped out 2018 and then 2019.

01:15:59.389 --> 01:16:02.059
And we don't know after Musk.

01:16:02.059 --> 01:16:17.574
It says on here and this is by I used the Brave browser unreported, but in 2022 and 2023, unreported but suspected to be unprofitable.

01:16:17.574 --> 01:16:26.117
In 2024, projected positive 904 million, so projected to make almost a billion dollars.

01:16:26.157 --> 01:16:34.457
2025, projected over a billion dollars 1.09 that was after the after his self valuations, that's.

01:16:34.457 --> 01:16:35.841
That's after he evaluated.

01:16:35.841 --> 01:16:43.756
He gave the self-evaluation well valuation versus evaluated, he gave.

01:16:43.775 --> 01:16:44.918
Well, valuation versus revenue are two different things.

01:16:44.918 --> 01:16:56.108
But he I mean, yeah, he gave, he gave it, he gave himself like a a hundred billion dollar valuation, but then so, but you, you take that right and you say, okay, we can, we can take twitter and say, all right, well, we didn't get the numbers there and we look at, we'll look at other companies.

01:16:56.108 --> 01:16:57.854
We said, well, what is tesla doing?

01:16:57.854 --> 01:17:04.220
All right, well, tesla was profitable, but then it had that that sharp decline.

01:17:04.220 --> 01:17:05.923
And then you know, all right, cool, all right.

01:17:05.944 --> 01:17:21.961
Well, tesla, all right it was at one point, didn't, wasn't tesla the most valuable corporation in the world, just like last year, highest valuation of any company in the world, last year Self-valuation Market evaluation.

01:17:22.440 --> 01:17:31.587
Tesla is a publicly traded yeah, but he did the same thing that he did the same thing that 45 and 47 did.

01:17:31.587 --> 01:17:35.551
That landed him in federal hot water.

01:17:35.551 --> 01:17:38.033
He said, hey, my company is worth this much.

01:17:38.033 --> 01:17:40.795
And they said, okay, prove it.

01:17:41.502 --> 01:17:48.180
The people that were when you're talking about stock, you can't do that self-evaluation.

01:17:49.846 --> 01:17:53.042
The people that were looking into it, the OIG, and you can look this up.

01:17:53.042 --> 01:17:56.399
The people that were looking into it.

01:17:56.399 --> 01:17:59.298
Those were one of the first people who Special Employee Musk decided to let go.

01:17:59.298 --> 01:17:59.640
One of the first.

01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:09.087
Those were one of the first people who special employee Musk decided to let go the one of the one of the agencies that were looking into that, that whole self-evaluation thing.

01:18:09.087 --> 01:18:13.335
So we'll never know what the true answer is, but then we take that to the side.

01:18:13.335 --> 01:18:14.979
So wait, so we'll take that.

01:18:15.020 --> 01:18:22.064
That's OK, we'll take that to the side, we'll take that to the side, and then we'll say well, the side I'm not even saying Trump's a great businessman.

01:18:22.064 --> 01:18:24.408
Yeah, I understand, we're talking about Elon.

01:18:25.935 --> 01:18:26.838
That's two companies.

01:18:26.838 --> 01:18:29.201
We'll take that to the side and then we'll say, well, what about SpaceX?

01:18:29.201 --> 01:18:43.060
And they will say, well, SpaceX really wasn't profitable except for the government handouts that Obama gave them for eight years Contracts are not handouts Services rendered.

01:18:43.060 --> 01:18:44.962
Those were not contracts, though.

01:18:47.134 --> 01:18:48.399
Oh, you're talking about the subsidies.

01:18:48.720 --> 01:18:50.126
Yes, those were not contracts.

01:18:50.126 --> 01:18:52.323
Contracts and subsidies are two different things we're talking about.

01:18:53.318 --> 01:18:55.400
I thought you were saying we're talking about welfare.

01:18:56.296 --> 01:18:58.664
That company was underwater and going to bankrupt.

01:18:58.664 --> 01:19:04.487
And what he got, he got six years of subsidies and two years of contracts once he became sold.

01:19:04.487 --> 01:19:11.047
So a different thing, right, well, there will be no SpaceX had he not got, no, six years of subsidies.

01:19:11.047 --> 01:19:14.217
So that company was bailed out, right.

01:19:14.217 --> 01:19:27.072
And then we talk you know he did have, you know he did come back and get the first company where he became the CEO, or he was fired and then came back as a CEO, sold it to Comcast and made like a 20 million dollar profit and stuff like that.

01:19:27.072 --> 01:19:29.847
So there are, you know, instances of success.

01:19:29.847 --> 01:19:31.435
I'm not shitting on the guy overall.

01:19:31.435 --> 01:19:34.279
You know you grow and you learn as you go.

01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:46.735
But what I'm saying is I don't think I think his, his, his business acumen is completely, you know, overblown, like he's not this, you know he's not this fucking you know business whiz kid, he's just.

01:19:47.056 --> 01:19:51.186
OK, so let me, let me push back a little bit on, I think, maybe a misperception.

01:19:51.186 --> 01:19:55.997
Sure, ok, right now.

01:19:58.060 --> 01:20:04.930
We are at the point where Trump has said turn off the money, spigot.

01:20:04.930 --> 01:20:14.778
There's all this money behind the dam and it's been shooting out of the over, right, just shooting out at.

01:20:14.778 --> 01:20:18.167
If you've ever seen the bottom of the Hoover Dam, it's awesome.

01:20:18.167 --> 01:20:18.655
It's just.

01:20:18.655 --> 01:20:21.043
You got the dam and the dam and the water is just shooting.

01:20:21.043 --> 01:20:21.685
The water.

01:20:21.685 --> 01:20:30.246
That's that's what's been going on for years, right, including when Trump was in, including when Trump was there as 45.

01:20:30.246 --> 01:20:31.877
Right, and?

01:20:31.877 --> 01:20:39.608
And so there's this money been shooting out, and so Trump has has come back in and he said look, I'm going to shut that off.

01:20:39.608 --> 01:20:41.376
And that's what's happening.

01:20:41.376 --> 01:20:44.460
Shut it off Right now.

01:20:45.400 --> 01:21:18.005
When you're saying and I agree with you when you're saying, if you're going to go in and find out where this money went, you don't use coders, you use forensic auditors right, we're not at that point yet, though Trump and Musk Trump has not come out and said look, we need to go in and find out where all this money went so we can recoup it, because we both know it doesn't matter where that money went, it is gone.

01:21:18.005 --> 01:21:44.556
Right, you could see full-on dead receipts from USAID to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was the instigator of 9-11, to direct payment to Billy McConnell who transferred money to Mitch McConnell.

01:21:44.556 --> 01:21:45.719
You could have that exact same.

01:21:45.719 --> 01:21:48.965
And Mitch McConnell is not going to jail, he's not going to get tried.

01:21:48.965 --> 01:21:50.967
They're not going to recoup any of the money, right?

01:21:50.967 --> 01:21:51.828
Just an example.

01:21:51.828 --> 01:21:56.356
I mean we get mad thing that, yeah, right, okay.

01:21:56.356 --> 01:22:02.748
So so we're not at the point where we're looking and saying now we need to go get the money.

01:22:04.235 --> 01:22:09.384
What they're looking at is let's stop this, we need to stop the money going out.

01:22:09.384 --> 01:22:19.329
Then if you have A through Z and all of these have the spigots of money going out, we need to shut them all off.

01:22:19.329 --> 01:22:26.846
Then look and say, okay, you know what G needs to be turned back on, but don't turn it all the way back on.

01:22:26.846 --> 01:22:29.677
It only needs 80% of what it was before.

01:22:29.677 --> 01:22:36.028
And the DOD, which is the biggest one, hold on.

01:22:36.028 --> 01:22:41.225
We need to cut that down to 92% of what it has been blowing out.

01:22:41.225 --> 01:22:44.324
They're not going back yet and doing any of the audits.

01:22:44.324 --> 01:22:53.841
That's why I don't think it's necessarily a great argument to say, hey, you need to have coders in there, or I mean you need to have auditors in there.

01:22:54.162 --> 01:23:19.335
Yet Now I hope, honestly I hope, that after the initial floodgates are shut down and reopened appropriately at the appropriate levels and the American people and I've said they were talking about they're talking about doing a refund and saving X amount of money back to the American people, which I think is ridiculous.

01:23:19.335 --> 01:23:21.198
Just stop spending money.

01:23:21.198 --> 01:23:25.006
Don't, don't create any more inflation, just stop it.

01:23:25.006 --> 01:23:27.136
Just stop wasting this money.

01:23:27.136 --> 01:23:28.498
Let our money be valuable again.

01:23:28.498 --> 01:24:06.344
But at that point, if they go in and they want to start doing the audits and they start finding where the money went and they have the DOJ, department of Justice, go in and start doing actual investigations and bring in the auditors and all that, if Mitch McConnell illegally took $1, if Ted Cruz illegally took $, never and it helped, if, well, I'm just for me, for me and probably for most conservatives, most conservatives will say, yeah, you know what?

01:24:06.344 --> 01:24:10.018
It's not okay for anybody to be stealing money.

01:24:10.018 --> 01:24:10.780
Wait a minute.

01:24:11.122 --> 01:24:14.442
Hold that thought I want you to put your objective glasses on.

01:24:14.442 --> 01:24:16.350
So we got the wall of receipts.

01:24:16.371 --> 01:24:19.755
I can't even see that that's the problem with the wall of receipts.

01:24:19.755 --> 01:24:21.337
I can't even see that that's the problem with the wall of receipts.

01:24:21.337 --> 01:24:23.520
My objective glasses are no better than my normal glasses.

01:24:23.520 --> 01:24:24.981
I can't read a single part of that.

01:24:24.981 --> 01:24:27.184
You're going to have to tell me what it says All right.

01:24:27.463 --> 01:24:32.310
So we are on the wall of receipts on Doge right and we're talking about the total contract value.

01:24:32.310 --> 01:24:33.570
I was going through this.

01:24:33.570 --> 01:24:40.182
I'm so glad they finally got things put up here.

01:24:40.182 --> 01:24:40.644
You're on Doge.

01:24:40.644 --> 01:24:43.128
Yep, Go to dogegov and look at the wall of receipts.

01:24:43.128 --> 01:24:44.340
I want you to scroll down.

01:24:45.895 --> 01:24:47.019
I started looking at it.

01:24:47.019 --> 01:24:52.542
I'm opening up and it says saving spend workforce regulations join.

01:24:52.542 --> 01:24:53.971
Where am I going to Click?

01:24:53.992 --> 01:24:54.335
savings.

01:24:54.876 --> 01:24:56.378
Click savings Savings.

01:24:56.378 --> 01:24:57.962
Scroll down Wall of receipts Now.

01:24:57.983 --> 01:24:58.725
I want you to so at the time.

01:24:58.805 --> 01:24:59.667
Oh, savings.

01:24:59.667 --> 01:25:00.448
Scroll down.

01:25:00.448 --> 01:25:01.037
Wall of receipts.

01:25:01.037 --> 01:25:02.721
Ok, gotcha, now I can see what it's saying.

01:25:02.962 --> 01:25:06.060
Ok, yeah, well, you used to be able to see more.

01:25:06.060 --> 01:25:13.439
If you click, see more Right On contract, right If you scroll down, there is a more.

01:25:13.439 --> 01:25:18.846
Yeah, I want you to see if you can notice a trend.

01:25:18.846 --> 01:25:21.270
I noticed a pattern right now.

01:25:21.270 --> 01:25:24.242
This is this is from Doge, who is?

01:25:25.926 --> 01:25:26.828
looking for their own.

01:25:26.828 --> 01:25:28.761
They're all, they're all media contracts.

01:25:29.194 --> 01:25:30.097
No, no, no, Keep looking.

01:25:30.097 --> 01:25:32.336
There's another pattern, keep looking.

01:25:32.336 --> 01:25:36.948
This is Doge, who's looking for fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

01:25:36.948 --> 01:25:42.728
Right, it's a, you know, it's not not a partisan issue.

01:25:42.728 --> 01:25:44.296
It's not, you know, left or right.

01:25:44.296 --> 01:25:49.876
We are looking for fraud, waste and abuse and I want you to see if you can notice the pattern.

01:25:49.876 --> 01:25:56.123
I was able to pick it up about about 50 in oh, 50 in.

01:25:56.243 --> 01:25:59.268
Are you looking at, are you looking at multiple DIE items?

01:25:59.268 --> 01:26:14.618
Yeah, there's a lot of DEI, there's a lot of ton of Politico subscriptions, which is hilarious, because if you're paying that much money to Politico, which is basically a free online site, that's ridiculous.

01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:20.036
There's a lot of EO, eo, a lot of study on equitable Small business.

01:26:20.836 --> 01:26:21.596
Asia Pacific.

01:26:21.596 --> 01:26:24.917
Am I supposed to be looking at the big stuff or the small stuff?

01:26:24.917 --> 01:26:25.779
All of it?

01:26:25.779 --> 01:26:29.980
So, in the interest of time, a lot of foreign stuff.

01:26:29.980 --> 01:26:54.993
So, in the interest of time, I'll cut it short, right what I've noticed Gettysburg, the Gettysburg staff ride services for forest service $150,000 for people on the for the forest service to walk people around and say this is what happened in Gettysburg $150,000.

01:26:55.172 --> 01:26:56.252
Staff rides can get extended.

01:26:56.273 --> 01:27:01.242
Staff rides yeah you and I both know staff rides are ridiculous too.

01:27:01.242 --> 01:27:03.150
Before we get into the final thoughts, the pattern right?

01:27:03.150 --> 01:27:19.212
Sure, either we have one side of the wing who is grossly inept at stealing and the other side of the wing who is just absolute angels at fiscal responsibility and not stealing a dime.

01:27:19.212 --> 01:27:23.979
Well, somebody's lying and you ain't got to answer.

01:27:23.979 --> 01:27:48.163
But me thinks some shenanigans are afoot with the reporting, because throughout that entire savings list I find it hard to believe not Not a single dime went to any conservative programs for fraud, waste and abuse.

01:27:48.163 --> 01:27:59.342
Out of every government department shut down so far, not a single dime was spent toward fraud, waste and abuse for a conservative program.

01:27:59.342 --> 01:28:03.322
And with that thought we go to final thoughts.

01:28:04.817 --> 01:28:12.278
I'll just say this I think that one way to look at that also is, as you go back over the last four years, yeah, most of it's going to go to liberal causes.

01:28:12.278 --> 01:28:22.948
So if you start getting back and they go back further, but most of the contracts they're only going to be like I don't know how long government contracts for, aren't they only generally four, a year or two?

01:28:22.948 --> 01:28:25.654
So you know what I mean.

01:28:25.654 --> 01:28:29.423
Unless you're talking about a contract that's longer than four years, it's going to be.

01:28:29.444 --> 01:28:31.417
Mostly they went back quite a bit.

01:28:31.417 --> 01:28:35.948
I think the last, the last, the oldest one I saw so far has been about six years.

01:28:35.948 --> 01:28:40.485
Okay, but yeah, but even, all right.

01:28:40.485 --> 01:28:50.597
So even are you saying that in four years not a single conservative effort received a single government contract, not not one conservative cause at all.

01:28:50.597 --> 01:28:51.801
Nobody got paid.

01:28:52.783 --> 01:28:53.886
No, I'm saying that.

01:28:53.886 --> 01:29:01.694
Well, I'm saying that there's a difference between how contracts are done and what we're looking here on Doge.

01:29:01.694 --> 01:29:07.807
The number of contracts that are done by the federal government is probably somewhere in the millions.

01:29:07.807 --> 01:29:22.470
So I will say this If there are conservatives and Republicans that were going in and screwing with the system and backdooring the system and paying you know kickbacks or whatever, shut them down too, yeah.

01:29:22.470 --> 01:29:28.841
So I think for the most part it's easy to say this is the low lying fruit, this is the easy stuff to see, and go turn it off.

01:29:28.841 --> 01:29:31.779
So it's.

01:29:31.779 --> 01:29:45.417
If there's stuff that's a little harder to find, I hope they find it, I hope shut it down, because I don't think the federal government should be spending anything on things that don't specifically help the American people and that are.

01:29:45.417 --> 01:29:54.438
If you showed it to an average American, average American me and you and saying here's what we're spending, that we went OK, makes sense, Cool.

01:29:54.438 --> 01:29:56.844
If you can't do that should be cut it.

01:29:56.863 --> 01:30:01.274
I like it, I like it, I like it.

01:30:01.274 --> 01:30:02.478
Hopefully they'll.

01:30:02.478 --> 01:30:04.064
I think it's a little one-sided.

01:30:04.064 --> 01:30:10.184
I think that bird is leaning heavy right right now with the report We'll see as long as the cuts are coming.

01:30:10.426 --> 01:30:11.454
I'm happy, Keep cutting.

01:30:12.259 --> 01:30:15.801
I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are definitely looking one-sided.

01:30:19.337 --> 01:30:23.506
Remember, there is more than a 0 percent chance that it is mostly the left.

01:30:24.595 --> 01:30:27.279
Yeah, mostly Sure I'll buy, mostly for a dollar.

01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:33.810
But out of over 200 reports, not a single conservative effort starts to look a little iffy.

01:30:35.975 --> 01:30:36.396
If you?

01:30:36.396 --> 01:30:37.738
If yeah, we'll see.

01:30:37.738 --> 01:30:43.850
And I'd be curious what kind of look if the federal government was in the last four years.

01:30:43.850 --> 01:30:53.523
Well, let me ask you this Do you think there's any chance in the last four years the federal government had a subscription, the federal government meaning the executive branch?

01:30:53.523 --> 01:31:00.189
Do you think there's any chance that they were paying subscription rates to Fox News or any of the Fox?

01:31:00.189 --> 01:31:06.728
I know you think Biden and the Democrats were saying, yeah, let's go subscribe to the Fox News.

01:31:07.376 --> 01:31:32.387
I don't think Biden, but then again I don't think Biden was subscribing personally to political when I say I got you, yeah, yeah, but I'm saying like yeah, but I'm saying like it wasn't just you know, it wasn't just fighting Like we got Department of Agriculture, we got, I mean hell, you look at them, you look at the DOD, every fucking, every television in the damn dental clinics, on Fox News.

01:31:32.387 --> 01:31:36.747
So you mean to tell me not a single subscription to Fox News, nowhere.

01:31:36.935 --> 01:31:37.114
Over.

01:31:37.114 --> 01:31:38.856
Well, first of all, those are cable.

01:31:38.856 --> 01:31:58.613
No, but what I'm saying is, in the last four years from 2020 to 2024, when I walked into public spaces, in military public spaces, it was probably closer to 80% CNN and 20% Fox News.

01:31:58.613 --> 01:32:05.503
If it was political, if it was political Back when you and I were at El Paso, yeah, it was probably the other way.

01:32:05.503 --> 01:32:06.206
It was 80-20.

01:32:06.206 --> 01:32:27.158
But for the last four years, no, it was CNN was much more was shown in the dental offices, in the hospitals, the places that I've been, Even inside certain agencies that I worked at for a couple of years Alphabet Cities it was more.

01:32:27.158 --> 01:32:31.842
When you walked in and you saw all the COVID numbers, that was CNN exclusively, in fact.

01:32:32.564 --> 01:32:34.600
Weirdos, either way, that's it for us, man.

01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:36.145
We will see you guys next week.

01:32:36.145 --> 01:32:36.551
Power.

01:32:36.551 --> 01:32:38.194
See you guys next week.

01:32:40.377 --> 01:32:45.265
Power Jeez man, what do you want to do tonight?

01:32:45.845 --> 01:32:47.628
The same thing we do every night.

01:32:47.628 --> 01:32:51.497
Pinky, try to take over the world.

01:32:51.497 --> 01:32:52.458
All right, yo, let's get into it.

01:32:52.458 --> 01:32:54.761
Try to take over the world You're preaching.

01:32:54.761 --> 01:32:56.505
Try to take over the world.

01:32:56.864 --> 01:32:58.627
They're preaching freedom.

01:32:58.627 --> 01:33:00.090
They're trying to take over the world.

01:33:04.777 --> 01:33:06.243
And there is a chaplain in the world.

01:33:06.243 --> 01:33:08.143
They're trying to take over the world.
